Review on 🌞 Sengled Assistant with SmartThings Compatibility: Daylight Equivalent by Adan Hudson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW.

In general they work. You don't need a Sengled hub. They work with Revain Echo Plus. You cannot connect more than 4 devices without putting them into pairing mode (turn on the light quickly 10 times, it should start blinking, turn off the light, press "Discover Devices" and then turn it on on again). This will 100% solve this problem. "Incompatibility with dimmers" refers to slide switches. You can't dim the brightness with a dimmer, but you can definitely do it with the help of Alexa and the app. Of the 10 I use, all 10 have decent range. They are not 1,2,3,4,5% similar to a Philips screen, but they are quite functional. Probably 5% per step. IF YOU PLAN TO USE WITH A Sengled HUB: Don't do it. Your software is rubbish, look at the app store reviews. There are 3 separate apps and all are rated around 2.5/5 for some reason. If it works, don't forget your password as it will NOT send you a password reset link. Customer service is below average at best. Description of the installation and details how to put it in pairing mode or reset it, 0 /10 because details are not included and this information is difficult to find on the site. All in all: if you really can't afford Phillips Hue, or like me, want smart daylight bulbs, these are the go-to ones. They are very cheap and fully functional. I have them in every room (until Phillips Hue came up with the daylight bulb). I'm not upset that I bought them as they are CHEAP and CHEAP things require more work. They are difficult to set up (when using more than 4 with Alexa). What do you expect? Specifications not included: 800 lumens 25,000 hours (LED) Zigbee HA 1.2.1 support (google it) Operating temperature -4F to -104F (NOT RECOMMENDED FOR OUTDOOR USE in cold areas. In Chicago temperatures sometimes go below -4F and they do it does not work and 1 of 2 stops working after) 9 W (equivalent to 60 W)

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • old
