Review on 🔌 SYLVANIA Dimmable Equivalent with Google Assistant: The Ultimate Industrial Electrical Solution by Kris Wagner

UPDATE: Okay, a few weeks after I wrote the review below, the light is clearly out of action for good. They seem to stop connecting to wifi even in advanced settings mode and blink slowly. I spent several hours (!) getting it to work; I'll probably have to call support (assuming there is one) as I'm just out of the return window. Hooray Sylanvia! Well, a month of halfway working functionality for $50 for four lightbulbs seems like a reasonable deal, doesn't it? It only costs about $600 a year... ——— Headlights are usually connected to devices called "light switches” that are used to turn them on and off. Unfortunately, these lights don't seem to be able to handle those weird "switch" things: if you or someone else (imagine a guest or a child) dares to use that "switch" to turn the light off, you will soon find that you have to go through the setup process again to reset the light. (It will tell you this by looking at the primaries when you turn it back on. Wow!) That's a problem for me, but maybe your situation is different and you don't have those "switches". , or good for teaching all guests and households not to touch certain switches. Less important, but still unconvincing: The app is built strangely in my opinion. Pressing color doesn't let you easily change the current settings (like GE's C did), instead it jumps to the last used color. You can "group" lights to treat them as one light, but you can't create scenes where the lights are set differently: for example, you can't create some sort of movie viewing scene where some of the lights are off and some are dimmed. (Or where different lights are different colors. Which is odd since the photos they used to sell these lights show exactly that usage. Of course you can achieve this - you can see them all, one light at a time .times manual adjustment by each.But it's not exactly what people expect when they see a photo like this.) The price was good. But they skimped on the app (which costs very little to improve per unit) and on the firmware (why couldn't it remember its last settings on shutdown?)
