Review on πŸ’‘ Enhanced GE Lighting Bluetooth Replacement: Compatible and Convenient by Robert Yates

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The Android app installation does not work. iOS does.

I bought some cheap smart lights from Chinese brands which even with poorly translated applications and instructions were easier to install than these lights. Android app NOT WORKING. It cannot bypass the bulb Wi-Fi setting. You also can't add them directly through Google Home, as stated in the product description and documentation. Adding to my account failed multiple times in the Wi-Fi phase for all 4 bulbs, even doing a factory reset of the bulbs. (Which is a ridiculous process in itself) I was about to return them when I thought of adding them with my iPad. The iPad app worked, albeit with a few hiccups. ("Couldn't add 3 out of 4 lightbulbs to my Cync account after successfully adding them to the wifi network, but when I closed the app and then reopened it they were all there). Now that I have them I've added they work well (so far) but I doubt I'll ever buy GE Smart Lights again unless I hear they've greatly improved their product and especially the Android app TLDR: Definitely don't buy , unless you have an iPhone or iPad to set them up because the Android app DOESN'T WORK for that.

Pros
  • Smart LED bulbs. These smart bulbs fit into A19 60W bulb sockets and help transform your home into a smart home. These smart LED bulbs use 84% less energy and last 15 times longer than 60W incandescent bulbs.
Cons
  • Small things
