Review on 🌟 Enhanced Dimmable Philips Assistant: ERIA Equivalence Unveiled by Scott Bailey

Revainrating 1 out of 5

When using Philips Hue, these bulbs fail badly.

These bulbs are a nightmare (you know, light/nightmare?!) when paired with the Philips Hue app. I have 2 colored ERIA lights in a "room" and they use "scenes". Here's what I experienced: * Pros: I was able to easily add them to Hue; The instructions were easy and it worked as expected. I added these lights to the space and effortlessly added scenes to the hue. From that moment everything went downhill. *Bad: Colors: I don't get millions of colors, I actually only seem to get a few dozen colors (you do the math, but I think that's a big difference). If you try to slowly transition from one color to another through the application, the color will not change slowly along the gradient, but will eventually "jump" to the next. The same jump also happens when I try to adjust to a whiter version of the color. Completely unacceptable. Scene Switching: More than half the time I switch scenes, only one of the bulbs actually changes color while the other stays the same. Complete disappointment. Switching on: When the room is switched on, usually only one of the two lights is lit. When I then (my next action) change scenes, sometimes both lights start working, but one of them often stays white. An absolute deal killer. Of course, I don't recommend them - they're a little cheaper than Hue bulbs, but deducting a million stars for performance is throwing money away.
