Review on OHLUX Compatible Equivalent Multi Color Bulb 4PACK by Jessica Bryant

Revainrating 5 out of 5

You need to open tcp-8886 for it to work

Setup: When I picked up the first setup I was connected to my 5GHz network so of course it failed. I had to do some digging to find my 2.4GHz network, but if you need to change it when registering your phone, just tap the SSID name to open Wi-Fi settings and connect to connect to your 2.4 GHz network. You will also need tcp-8886 which is open to the internet, looks like it only works with US IPs at the moment. If you have an application firewall, you can optionally block it for SSL and TCP-8886 only. The Device Information tab only shows your public IP address and MAC address, but if you're using WiFi extenders, you'll see the WiFi extender's MAC address, not this one. Also, you need SSL for outbound TCP-443 traffic, which only seems to go to US IPs along with DNS. Operation: I'm using direct Google Assistant without hubs and it's working great so far. The brick house is 2800 square feet and I can control it from anywhere, up or down. I love that I can use a wizard to change colors and set up rooms to control two lightbulbs in a room. They're pretty bright too. Well I'm glad they don't call China, I'd recommend them.
