Review on Geeni Smart Filament Candelabra Compatible Assistant by Jim Jarvis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Geeni lamps are easy to install and of high quality.

Geeni was the easiest smart lightbulb I have ever installed. But that's probably because I've learned from previous failures. So the most important advice. Make sure you are using 2.4GHz WiFi. This is very important and was the source of my beginner headaches. If you have Frontier Fios, make sure you are connected to TOTAL WIRELESS. This is a feature that allows you to have a Wi-Fi SSID that simply automatically optimizes and switches to 2.4 or 5.0 GHz for your devices. By default, this feature should be disabled, but I enabled and forgot about it a long time ago. If you have this feature enabled, you must disable it for the setup process to run smoothly. You do this in the router's admin panel. You need to download the Geeni app to go through the setup process. Once your bulbs are set up, you can switch back to fully wireless if you wish. To connect to Alexa, you need to go through the process of adding a device in the Alexa app and select Geeni. It then redirects you to the Geeni app where you register. You then return to the Alexa app and enable the Geeni Skills. I hope that one day there will be some kind of coalition/unity app for all smart devices and lightbulbs. I manage too many applications. LAUGH OUT LOUD! 5 Stars!
