Review on Philips Ambiance Equivalent Compatible Assistant by Richard Muncy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Love. We connected them to our Alexa and .

I. Am. So B. Love. We paired it with our Alexa and used it alternately with voice commands and the Philips Hue app. Colored atmospheric lights are MUCH more useful than white ones. We like to turn the room lights to red when we're working on something at night, but I've found that 10% brightness works best when we're watching a horror movie so we can see without spoiling the night. Vision, around the room if we need a drink or something. Usually we set the white filter to 3%. That's the joy of these lights, you can choose any color and intensity, in addition to customizing the treatments. I wake up easily from light, so the bedroom lamp is set to turn on gradually until it reaches full power at 8am so I wake up without an alarm. They can also be set to be treated on the go, or activated remotely via the Alexa app or the Hue app to maintain the illusion that someone is home. It's way better than wall timers that turn on your lights or TV while you're away. You also have the option to use the Google Assistant app, although I haven't used it. Instead, I used Apple's Home Kit to create scenarios for how the light should react to my presence. Be aware that this doesn't work for some people, there seems to be a problem with that. Therefore, we mostly use the Alexa or Hue app.

Pros
