    Purchased these as a Deal of the Day for half the price it normally is. Wasnt aware that if you are going to connect it the Echo Dot, you needed a hub. I use the Echo as opposed to the Google Home. But..it did connect flawlessly to my Google Home without the hub. Highly recommend if you use Google Home, but be aware that you need a hub for the Amazon Echo Dot.

      You are correct, when connecting to any Alexa device, you would need a wifi-bridge/hub. We recommend the C by GE On/Off Smart plug because of its ease of setup and low price. Thank for the review!

    Downloaded the app first. It was a weird set up. I had to go to youtube to watch a video to “factory reset” it even though it was fresh out of the box. Once I set it up and added to C by GE app, everything was smooth. It has worked since then. You need the C Reach (sold separately) to make it work with smart assistants for voice control.

      Hi Tom, alternatively you can use our in-wall switches (both 4-wire and 3-wire) or our smart plug to connect with Alexa/Google. Give our support staff a all at 1-844-302-2943 if there is anything you need help with! Thanks.

    These Smart LED Bulbs work well with Google. Once in a while the bulbs will glitch but about 95% of the time they work great. They are easy to set up, but resetting them can be a problem. I had to look up on YouTube how to reset them. Overall, I would recommend this product if you're looking to make your home smarter!

    I love not having to run back to my bed after turning off the light switch to beat the boogeyman anymore. I'm not sure if it's Google Home or the lights themselves, but I do sometimes have to reboot my Home device and clear the cache every once in a while when it doesn't communicate with one or more of the lights.

    Now my life is a little bit much easier. I love to turn on and off the lightbulbs through my phone. Ease to setup, work great, and totally recommend it. The only negative point is for some reason I could never make them work with google home app that’s why I had to downloaded the C by GE app after I did everything was fine.

      Mazzonik, if you have a 1st party Google Home device, you should be able to connect these to you Google Home app, otherwise, a C by GE hub (we like to recommend the Smart Plug) may be the solution for you!

    The bulbs are good lighting and the dimming feature is nice. I have had to factory reset them a few times to have them connect with my Google home mini. That is why I am giving them a 3 star rating. There are better bulbs out there, but for the price they are hard to beat.
