Review on ๐Ÿž๏ธ Transform Your Outdoor Space with GE Lighting's Bluetooth-enabled Outdoor Changing Lights by Todd Winter

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I guess I'm naiver than I thought

I thought it would be convenient to just screw in this lightbulb and work with an application I thought I could install on my computer and to run them on their range of light colors and brightness levels. I was moving it from room to room in our new house, deciding which bulbs I needed in each. But no. No, it doesn't work as simply and fundamentally as I dreamed it would. The application cannot be installed on my computer. The app won't install on my old phone which I like to use when I don't want the app to know all my affairs. no This lightbulb knows everything about the person installing it and the household the lightbulb lives in. I think I still have an "old fashioned" view of privacy and it's too much for a lightbulb app - and GE -- to know, to have access to, to be able to control: -- He has access to your photos/media/ Files - - He can read the contents of your USB drive - He can change or delete the contents of your USB drive - He can read the status and identity of your phone - He has access to the microphone - He can record audio - - It can view Wi-Fi connections and information - It can read your device ID and call information - It can read phone status and identity - It has access to your phone's camera - It can take photos and videos! -- It can read the contents of your USB drive -- It can change or erase the contents of your USB drive -- It knows your exact location (based on GPS and network).
