I just wanted simple lights to work with my Google home device. These work great. I have set up routines using the Google home app to turn a few lights on and off at regular times. The voice commands also work great with turning the light on & off.

Paird with Google Mini/Home and setup in minutes. We have these in multiple rooms in our home and love how bright they are but also that you can dim them to have a softer light. You can control them by voice or on a smart device. Great lights!

The 2 lightbulbs easily connected to my google home app. I am now able to be full on lazy at night when I forget to turn off a light. It is also a very affordable price for the bulb....

Bought these to pair up with our google home minis and they work great. Easy to pair and set up with the google home app. On occassion the system will have trouble finding the bulbs but I am not sure if that is an error with the bulbs or the google home minis but it doesn't happen often enough for me to really gripe about it. I just felt I should let potential consumers know it can happen. I recommend these bulbs to anyone looking to save money on their electric bill and or looking to set their lights up for voice command.

I really like these lights. They are very simple to use, and set up. They work great with my Google devices, and most importantly - no hub needed! That's the reason I tried these ones in the 1st place then eventually bought several more.

From the moment I opened up the package, the installation was pretty straight forward. If you can install an app on your phone, you can pretty much figure out the lights. The only problem I have with this item is the sync ability to both apps. The C by GE lights are able to sync up to either google home or C by GE app, I wished both because with the C by GE app allows you to set up lighting schedules but the google home doesn’t allow you to set up lighting schedules but you can use the google home device to use WiFi options without a GE Hub...

Hi Yodahao110! We are always looking for ways to buid and improve our products so thank you for taking the time to review our promducts. Our bulbs are "Bluetooth-enabled," so they require a "Smart Bridge" device such as one of our smart switches, our smart plug, or C-Reach Smart Bridge to connect to Wifi which is required to link your C by GE account to Google Home. When you connect your bulbs to Google Home, you are actually pairing them to the Google Home device rather than to your phone. Since your Google Home device connects to Wifi, there is no need for a Smart Bridge device. Feel free to call us at 1-844-302-2943, email us at [email protected] or live chat with us on cbyge.com if you have any questions or concerns. - C by GE Customer Support

Does not require a hub

What makes this bulb great is that it does not require a hub to connect to any google home products. It uses Bluetooth instead of wifi connection but still can be controlled through your phone or IFTTT. The only downside is resetting the bulb if the connection gets lost(Which rarely happens). Looking at the guide video on how to do it is on C by GE youtube video. But your light bulb may vary depending on if you have the new model instead of the old version. The only difference between each model is the factory reset procedure.

I really like being able to control the lights by voice. It is not just a cool trick but very handy. However, it is an expensive convenience. Hopefully the price will drop to reasonable levels as the technology becomes more common. They have smart outlets that can control a lamp if you plug it into it but they are not cheaper. They may last a lot longer than the bulbs though. Over all I am happy with the bulbs. They paired easily with my google home and work every time. If they last for ten years they may even be worth the cost.

Easy to install, will last for a few years, no hiccups pairing. Ensure you look at the lumen for what you need, this is bright but not a flood light. Using in kitchen over the sink, in the bedroom for night stand lamps - perfect.

Works fine for me. Installed easily with google home app GE app not required. Control with your voice on Google Home speaker. They are Bluetooth not WiFi to control with Google Home speaker they must be in same room as speaker. I think I read that you can only connect five lights per speaker. Only negative is if you use your google speaker as a Bluetooth speaker for your phone the audio will stutter, turn off light switches and audio works fine. If you have a different Bluetooth speaker (headset) in room it will work fine
