Question

Jonathan · Accepted Answer

No hub is needed, just screw in and you’re all set. And you can use whatever color you like on each bulb. If you had two bulbs for example in the same room. You could customize each bulb to your hearts content. One orange at full brightness and the other green at its dimmest setting.

No hub needed just a Bluetooth device, and you can set the color the way you wish.

Nivagblock · Answer

You can pick from the different shades of white to suite your preference. Cool whites all the way to warm whites, plus different % brightness. You have to pair using the Lifx app, and can do some basic scheduling from the app. Once set up on your WiFi network (no hub required), you can pair with Alexa via your Dot.

Bulbs are one color at a time. Panels are multi color or one color. Automation from app does all sorts of things. Lifx requires no hub and connects to all sorts of home auto hubs. I use Apple HomeKit

Qube · Answer

yes, each individual light can be set to a color of your choice. after naming the bulb on the lifx app, and syncing the lifx app with your alexa, simply make the command to set the "named" bulb to a certain color.

Yes you can choose the color as well as warm and cool whites. Lifx does not need a hub works directly with Google and others.

Julio2196 · Answer

No you don’t need a hub just the app and that’s simple and with the app it’ll let you set it to the color you want to be on when you turn it on.

ahab85 · Answer

You can set it at one color at a time and there’s several shades of natural or white light. These are amazing. And no hub needed. Just the app.

Midcherry · Answer

No hub required and yes just white or just one color at a time. Not just white but warm white or a cool/daylight white. Get two or more and you can have them all match in color or independently. Echo dot will work with these too. Hey Alexa, turn on my light. Hey Alexa, turn light to 50%. etc.

opiela · Answer

yea it can be one color at a time, and has a few variations of white (warm, daylight, cool etc). This does not need a hub but you will need to control with your phone or use your phone to set up with the echo.

I was able to set this up on my Android phone to work with the Google Home app after adding it to the native app for LIFX. No hub needed.

Sharon · Answer

Yes u can set it on just white and no you do not need a hub

LiamFanTami · Answer

You can set it at one color and you can buy the cheaper version that only sets at variations of white. The great thing about these bulbs are that you do not need a hub. It should work with your Echo. I'm not sure what generation we have, but it works great.

chrisell · Answer

Not sure what you mean when you say white or just one color at a time, but you can choose any color, there is a swipe wheel on the app and it's really easy to use (the app), best part is that there is no hub required, it all works on an easy to use app on your smartphone. Your echo dot will work the LIFX bulbs just fine.

WillieG · Answer

You can have 3 setup in one room and have them all different colors. You can Choose from a mix of whites and orange color. No hub required. And will work with Alexa

Ryan · Answer

White works. There are a bunch of grades of white too. Also, colors galore. And some moods that change the color slowly. And triggers to turn them on at certain times on certain days.

Edward · Answer

Yes you can set this to just white. I use mine with an Echo and Echo dot second Gen. It will also allow you to change the color by just telling it what color you want.

Jesse · Answer

In the app, there are 2 different color wheels you can choose from: one has multiple shades of white and the other is color. No hub needed! It will pair with your Amazon Echo Dot 2nd Gen as long as it's on the same WiFi network (works perfectly with mine).

Shaggy · Answer

You can set each light, one color at a time. There's so many white colors to choose from and you can definitely use your Echo to control these lights. They are really a great product and easy to set up

ClemsonTiger · Answer

Of course you can use it as just white. You can also use one as white and the others can be any other color. Or you can adjust the whole set to the same color easily. It gives you the option to adjust each light's brightness too! No other device or hub is needed. Just the lights....each one has built-in wifi capability! 

I am not sure about the Echo Dot...I don't use one of those. 

Good luck!

Doug · Answer

Yes

jond · Answer

The bulbs connect directly to WiFi, so no hub is required. You can set them to many temperatures of white, or almost any imaginable color. They can be static at one setting, or you can have them cycle through multiple colors. You can group them together so that multiple lights have the same settings, or you can adjust each light individually if you want. They are very versatile.

Alexismarie · Answer

You can! It’s just a app that I downloaded on my phone. It so cool! It’s just plugs into the socket. You do need WiFi and the app but that’s all. And there is so many colors you can pick and choose from. There is even on that resembles a black light.

Beachangel · Answer

Our son is a gamer and he uses it in his room and yes it can be on white or color light at one time. It’s a bright light

DCrunner · Answer

No hub needed! They connect directly to your WiFi. Once you download the app, it'll prompt you how to set up the lights. You can be very selective and pick a different color for each bulb that you own. As well there are "themes" or different color sets that randomly play an assortment of colors. With a smart device you can connect them easily. Plus just ask your smart device to change your bulbs to a specific brightness or color.

Jtmorgan68 · Answer

You can set it as white or one color as needed . No hub needed :-)

Terrytunes · Answer

No hub needed. Just connect to your current wifi through settings. Up and running in minutes. And yes it has various shades of whites and thousands of colors that you can set to your hearts content.

smc1114 · Answer

One color at a time, no hub needed

BasicGamer · Answer

You can pretty much set whatever color you want, and it will stay that color until you change it (Voice commands). You can also choose the brightness (for example: set lights to 83%). 
All smart bulbs that use WiFi require a hub ONLY if you want to control your lights away from home. The key to smart devices over WiFi is that everything functions on the same WiFi network. A hub is basically a receiver when you’re not on the same network, kind of like an antenna. As far as I know, smart speakers serve as hubs. My Google Home mini worked just fine, but since I use iOS devices like iPhone, I just leave my old iPad at home since it has a built in hub feature (requires activation in settings).

Tazman812 · Answer

It can be set to any color you choose and even made to default to a specific color. That way you can use it just like a regular bulb(white) on a switch for say your kitchen. It needs no hub and is controlled by echo dot by voice after linking account and discovering bulb in Alexa account.

CommunityAnswer · Answer

Yes, the bulb can be set to the color of your choice only.

Stephen · Answer

Yes! You can set it at any color you want, including white. No need for a hub, either. The lightbulb itself connects to wifi. Also, while you can control the light from your echo dot, you can also use the app provided by LIFX to control the bulb directly from your smartphone.
