Review on Philips Hue Equivalent Dimmable Assistant by Rachael Taylor

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Remember that this "bar " is not a free bulb! You pay $20

I'm angry. I had to buy these bulbs which can't be used without my (red) Alexa hub - honestly I just wanted to buy the bat color BC! I knew it had additional benefits but had no idea how the hub worked, my point is 4-5 years old, it's rarely used because stupid Alexa can't understand me! I can use my fire remote to search and get the right results 80% of the time (which sucks compared to Siri which is never wrong), this point comes back. It's almost hilarious in the weirdest interpretations - which is why I ended up turning it off and keeping it. But I digress - this is my review of that particular "free kit" Phillip Hue bulbs - did I pay $70? So the lamps arrived first and have a shift of $20(?), then my red dot costs $49. Why didn't I get this option? Why did I only have the $70 option with or without the bulbs? I'm returning lightbulbs (meaning they're powered by my "hub" after my $49 point arrives? (According to your prices on my orders? The fine print tells you it's on a different Price affects if you are only returning a part - I resent having to buy Phillips lightbulbs - I prefer multi colored lighting in my bedroom but I used the remote control (only $15) it worked fine until the battery died - Now I get that coveted gorgeous red Alexa dot! ( This was a brilliant move with a 'limited' color because when it was almost over I was afraid to miss it ( FOMO! Revane gets it! So I'm giving these horrible reviews just because it's difficult - can't even use them with it My point - I need a Philips bridge or hub etc. I'm 58 years old, I'm not tech savvy so please if the cost n $50 per point. Do you choose this? to force you to buy those stinky lightbulbs

Pros
  • Easily expand your lighting system with accessories (sold separately) such as the Hue Dimmer Switch, Hue Touch Sensor or Hue Motion Sensor. Pair it with your existing Nest or SmartThings system for automation.
