Q: Are these bulbs compatible with Alexa and can they be controlled by voice independently?
A: Yes, see my review for easy steps otherwise it's a headache trying to figure out on your own.
Q: Does it work with Philips Hue Bridge/App and Google Assistant?
A: You can have the C by GE Bridge (their hub) or just the C by GE app connected to your google assistant/Google Home and also have Philips Hue connected and use both without conflict, so technically yes. You cannot connect C by GE bulbs through Philips Hue App or Hub. You Can connect C by GE bulbs directly to Google Home and use them with the Google Assistant, but only in a very basic way. If you want to automate, use scenes and atmospheres and have Google Home recognize and use them in Routines then you also have the C by GE Hub - C by GE is far less than clear about this and imply you don't need it. However you do. All of this is only relevant to when the things actually work and are responsive. And if any one of the ones you have installed becomes unresponsive, you cannot then uninstall just that one to fix it. You will have to uninstall and manually reset and then re-install and re-pair and re-group every single one separately. And they go bad often. The more you have to reset them, the faster they degrade. They're a waste of money. Stick with Hue.
Q: Can these smart bulbs be used in my enclosed lantern on the doorstep outside?
A: Yes. I have bulb outside on my porch.
A: Yes this works with the google home mini. They work on wifi.
Q: Can i change the color of the light or is it only white.
A: You cannot change the color of the bulb, but you can change the brightness.
Q: Can I use this away from home with my c by ge app? By turning off and on away from home.
A: Yes. I do this regularly.
Q: What is the wattage choices of the bulbs? How many bulbs to a box?
A: Hello Cathy. This particular set is 4 Soft White Dimmable LED bulbs + 1 Smart Plug that also provides the Wi-Fi gateway for the bulbs so that you can control the bulbs outside your home and link to a voice assistant. The bulbs are 9.5 watts and are the equivalent of a 60 watt incandescent bulb.
