Review on ๐Ÿ”ฆ Wyze Tunable Google Assistant Four Pack: Smart Lighting at Your Command by Susan Stephens

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Solid devices. Poor integration with Alexa.

I bought two packs of 1100 lumen Wyze color bulbs. The bulbs themselves feel rock solid and represent good value for money. The reviews led me to think they appear a bit brighter than they actually are, but it's true that they're noticeably brighter than the 800 lumen bulbs I already have, so that was probably the case than my expectations too were high. no product defect. However, as noted by several other reviewers, while these devices work with Alexa, they're not without fiddling. The steps I followed are provided by Travis in the Wyze Skill Review for Alexa: 1) Installed the Wyze app on my mobile device, set up a Wyze account and configured the light to work properly. 2) Linked Accounts (I did this via the Wyze app, not sure if it matters if you do it from Wyze or Alexa). 3) Enabled the Wyze skill in the Alexa app. At the moment Wyze devices are not shown yet. 4) Renamed all Wyze color bulbs in the Wyze app (no need to change the name, just edit and then save again). When everyone was saved, Alexa recognized them immediately, but Alexa determined they were immune. - Link accounts, this time using the Alexa app instead of the Wyze app). Presto, they work.
