Review on Meross Dimmable 🔌 Smart Bulb with Assistant Compatibility by Matthew Riley

I bought them on purpose because they said "no hub required". The instructions in the box were for Homekit so I set it up that way and it was very easy. Tried turning on the light while I'm away from home and was told a hub was required. The Homekit hub options are at least $100 so I was very disappointed and thought I'd send the bulbs back or buy an Echo which I really don't want. Then I discovered that the Merros app allows you to set schedules and manage them from anywhere. Removed the lightbulb from the home app and simply reset it using the merros app, which also put it back into the home app. Now my light will turn on automatically whether I'm at home or not, and I can also turn it on and off when I'm not at home.
