Review on πŸ’‘ Optimized Installation Assistant for Philips Hue Dimmable Lights by Crystal Collins

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Amazing light for pennies

I've wanted to Always a smart home and I have an Echo dot Revain has been around for about 2 years now and I decided it was time to start my smart home. On a better day I chose this light because I prefer warm light and wanted to get more out of my Echo. Unfortunately, the Revain Echo series requires a Phillips hub to work, thankfully this is an easy connection. level, color (there are several settings from warm orange to cool ice blue) and the function as a switch. All you have to do is leave the light switch on at all times and the dimmer is all you need to control all the functions and to ensure you don't lose the switch it comes with a magnetic wall mount . However, when you buy a hub, there are a few more steps you can take to turn it into a true smart light. You need to connect it to the hub via the app and also the dimmer to the app. I recommend Philippe's YouTube video for more info on this, it's a really easy setup. The only downside is that the cost is a bit high, but it's worth it as the series of shades can be controlled via the app from anywhere in the world, as long as you have an internet connection.

Pros
  • Pair with your existing Nest or SmartThings system for automation and works with Alexa for voice control (hub required, Alexa device and hub sold separately)
Cons
  • I can't remember
