Philips - Hue 75W A19 Smart Bulb Starter Kit (4‑Pack) – White & Color Ambiance + Hue Bridge - White and Color Ambiance

I love the Philips Hue light system. I have these bulbs all around my house for ambient lighting. If I’m working from home and need brighter white light for concentration, I can make it happen. If it’s Saturday evening and I want just enough light to relax, I can make it happen. If I want to open my window curtains and turn on some festive holiday colors, I can make it happen. The system is easy enough to set up, but has its complications as does most technology. Occasionally I do have a bulb that disconnects and won’t reconnect, which is upsetting but rare. It works well with Google Home virtual assistant. I LOVE the mimic presence feature which will randomly turn on any lights of your choosing for a specified period.

They were very easy to set up with my HomeKit. I just had to plug the hue bridge to the router and scan the code with HomeKit and it connected. I can set my own scenes to turn on and off at a desire time or set different lighting effects. It is kinda on the more expensive side compare to other HomeKit lightbulbs but it is worth it.

These lights are cool! I can control them with my phone via Bluetooth and they work amazingly well. Even with multiple people connected to the lights, it manages to update within the up almost instantly. The only draw back is that they're pretty expensive. I would deciding whether or not to keep them since they costed almost 200 bucks and they're a little dimmer than my normal lights. But ended up just keeping them because it was cool. If you plan on using this foot a room light, be aware they might be a little darker than your current lights, not to say they make it impossible to see, just noticbly darker than usual. But they still work great if you want to use these smart lights as a replacement. Just leave the light switch on all the time because if you don't, then you won't be able to turn them on with your device. Also, if the lights are off from your ohone and not the light switch, you'll have to wait a couple of seconds after you turn off the light switch to be able then the lights back on normally.

Works very! Met all expectations and I like the voice control via Alexa.

These are awesome, better than the cheap bulbs and connect to almost all assistant services flawlessly. If you want quality and the best reliability around I guarantee phillips hue is the way to go. Anything else is just a headache.
