Review on 🏑 Sengled SmartThings Outdoor: Google Integration Required for Superior Smart Home Experience by Jeffery Pricinoc

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Adequate but not very intelligent.

I'm a fan of Sengleds in general. Most of the smart lightbulbs in my house are Sengled. I bought this bulb to include in my Home Assistant setup during my transition from SmartThings. The lamp integrates easily and responds correctly to voice commands, and the motion sensor is responsive. However, the built-in auto power off feature CANNOT be disabled. This means that individual automation is not possible, as the light always switches off automatically after 90 seconds of inactivity. I sent a request to Sengled asking how to disable this feature and after few days with no response I bought the Sengled center to try and follow the published support documentation to disable this feature only to determine that the option shown in this documentation does not exist. . After a few more weeks of useless communication with their support team, I was told that this feature could not be disabled. Zigbee integration as it is cheaper and has almost the same functionality. If, like me, you're interested in managing motion activation yourself, then this solution isn't for you.

Pros
  • Voice Control: Works with Alexa or Google Assistant. Control your lights with voice commands to turn them on and off, adjust brightness and more. (Requires compatible socket)
Cons
  • old
