Review on Smart bulb Yandex with Alice, base E27, 8 W, RGB color by Jnis Pimberis ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I'm satisfied with it, there are only some small flaws.

I can’t say that the lamp did not live up to expectations, rather it brought an understanding of what smart lamps look like. I think that for the main lighting it is better to take a "smart" lamp without RGB, they are not so fancy, but they can change warm and cold colors and the lighting there is closer to the shades that you expect from a lamp. Some pros: Soft diffused light. The light bulb is quite weighty, indirectly this fact inspires confidence, it seems that a heavy thing is more reliable. He knows how to change shades, is friends with smart home, it is interesting to experiment with different scenarios. It is convenient to turn off the lamp by voice before going to bed and also turn it on, immediately setting the brightness level from the total lamp power. Red shading for watching movies - of course, a delight :) Has cons: Of course, there are a number of shortcomings that I would like to go through. Perhaps I’ll start with the brightness, after the Ikeev light bulb (which, if you can buy it right there), it seems that there is not so much brightness if you use it in a chandelier, and if you also have high ceilings, then you need not one or two such light bulbs so that the lighting is somehow enough for the room . In general, this is rather a good option for some kind of floor lamp or lamp, for some reason it seems that the main purpose of the lamp is still more decorative lighting and creating an entourage, rather than the main source light, but this is my subjective opinion. Light shades. Still, mixing colors in RGB lamps (or whatever happens in this lamp) is slightly different from the result you expect. Therefore, when you tell Alice to turn on yellow, then yellow turns on with an admixture of green, or if you ask to turn on warm white, it is understood that there will be lighting somewhere around 2700K, rather somewhere around 3500-4000K. In general, all colors have a certain shift in the expected color. Lamp connection. If you are doing this for the first time, it will take you some time. I didn’t manage to connect right away (Alice didn’t find the lamp, I had to add it with handles) and constantly clicking five times in a row at some point even starts to make me nervous :) A couple of times one of the lamps disappeared from the smart home for a while, if the lamp was turned off with the switch, now everything seems to be fine.
