TP-Link makes extremely easy to use smart devices and this "Smart-bulb" is a great addition to any home, especially if you also have any TP-Link "Smart-plugs". One thing that TP-Link does that I like is how easy it is to bundle their bulbs and plugs into groups and then turn them on and off together. When you take that feature and add in the ability to control via Google Home or Amazon Alexa it only takes a few words to light up a room and then go dark again when you are ready to go to sleep. This bulb also has a cool feature to start a specific brightness when activated with the power switch on the lamp it is screwed into. This can be different than the brightness you have it start with when it turns on automatically at specific times and is useful when you need a little light during the day but not as much as you might need at night.

These are great and don’t need a hub. You can use their app or Alexa. If power goes out lights turn back on when power comes back. Even if it’s middle of night.

Easy set up. App is easy to work with. I have it on roughly 9 hrs a day, its my outside night light. I keep it at about 60% of maximum. Will save me roughly $15.00 a year. Pay for itself after the 2nd year. Works well outside in the elements.

Highly recommend!! Great product!! Very easy to set up and works easily with Alexa! Love being able to schedule my lights to come on automatically and be able to turn them on and off from the app on my phone!!

I am using this smart bulb for last one year. I purchased another two after this one. All of these works without any issues. Very easy setup and integrates nicely with Google home hub and Alexa.
