C by GE - Soft White A-19 4-pack + Smart Plug - White

My first time purchasing a smart item for my home it was easy to set up works great on my phone and very adaptable to iPhone with the actual app from the company.Works flawlessly at this time I’m very happy. I’ve actually purchased a few smart plugs afterwards waiting on them as we speak.

A got deal of the day for $20 ti give it a chance and now i love it. Easy to install with the google home app.

Bulbs have provided long lasting light in quite a few areas. Even using them in overhead fans. Adapting them for fluorescent light fixtures would be a plus.

Okay I’m tech savvy. I used to be a computer programmer, but never have I struggled so much to get a product working! To save you time and headache here is how you do it! Do these in exactly this order and you will be fine 1. Download the C by GE app 2. Plug in just the plug IN THE SAME ROOM AS THE ROUTER (this is key at this stage and no where does it say it is required) 3. Add the plug to the C by GE app. If the plug is not discovering on the app hold down the button on the side till the flashing light on the plug turns red and let go and try again. 4. Set it up on the app like you are setting it up wherever you intend to put it (I had mine plugged into the family room outlet but intended to set it up for bedroom so I set it up on the app as bedroom) 5. Once this has completed setup you can unplug the plug and move it to whichever room you intend to use it. 6. Once you have it plugged in where you intend to use it and the red light has gone out (the red light shows it’s not connected yet because of moving it) open the Alexa app add the C by GE skill. 7. This will require you on the Alexa app to login to C by GE using your username and password. 8. Once you have the skill enabled add the plug to the Alexa app and test that it works (I plugged a fan in for testing). Also make sure it is listed as a plug in the app and not a light. 9. Once you have ensured that it is working add your lightbulbs to your light and turn on the switch or lamp they are connect to. Alexa should then auto discover them. 10. If it does not auto discover look up the video to hard reset the bulbs (should have it on the C by GE app) and then it should auto discover them. You should have them working at this point. The rest is just setting up routines. Again if you are telling Alexa to turn on the lights and it’s also turning on whatever is in the plug it has changed the plug designation to a light as well and you can change this by clicking on the plug in the Alexa app and changing It back to a plug. Now that these at working they are great but deducted stars for poor installation instructions. I hope I saved someone else the headache of trying to figure these out.

Inexpensive way to add to your home autonomy. Will purchase more.

For $34.99 this starter pack is a great deal! The smart plug alone costs $20 and a 2 pack of the LED bulbs cost $20. So honestly bundling this sets saves you a lot of money $$$ and you get all 4 bulbs and the plug around $36 bucks.

We received two smart bulbs and loved them so much we decided to get more. These were on sale so we thought we'd try them out. They work fine. I wish I had realized that you have to use the smart plug and download an app to get it to work with Alexa. It was a hassle to set up. While they work fine now, I would not purchase these particular bulbs again.

The bulbs are very bright and I like how they can be dimmed. The app is okay, but the Google Home integration is not. Every few months, I have to reset the bulbs to get them to work via Google Home. But considering how they are some of the cheapest smart bulbs, I can't complain too much.
