    I bought these as a gift for my son. He can be hard to please, so I was a little worried. He says they work great! These are his first smart bulbs, and he had no trouble getting them to work.

    This couldn't have been any easier to set up. No "hub" required.. like many of the other smart bulbs... these just go right through the google home network (mini).. if I had more places to put them.. I would.

    I have bought two sets of these lights and they are easy to set up. I'm currently working on making my home "smarter" and the lights synced perfectly with the Google Home app and assistant.

    So these smart bulbs are pretty reliable and cheap. Both the most important things IMO. However, it does has a convoluted factory reset procedure; but this shouldn't have to be done often , if at all ever. Also, it works via Bluetooth only from your phone (via app) or a Google Home unit, you will need a C-Reach device to enable Wi-Fi functionality/out of home functionality/HomeKit functionality. Provided you know all this going in, I'd still recommend them for what they are.

    Works fantastic with the alexa app, and say works natively with google home, but it has a limitation for google home. Only 6 bulbs can be connected, unless you use the smart plug as a bridge. Often says "cannot communicate with C by GE" when you ask it to turn on the light(s) works much better with a routine. light is soft white only, no colors or color temperature. but overall, glad i made the purchase. Highly recommend you get the smart plug to pair with it.

      Hi there, Thank you for the review we appreciate it. Once the bulbs are setup they should not have to be reset, we recommend fully restarting your phone to resolve this issue since they do run off of Bluetooth. Please feel free to reach out to our support, give us a call at 1-844-302-2943, or email us at [email protected] we'll be more than happy to assist.

    This light bulb is great for my google home, I got an amazon Alexa and it says I would have to buy a 50 dollar accessories for the amazon Alexa to connect to them, I feel that is a bit ridiculous

      Hi Coco! Thanks for reviewing our product. Our bulbs are Bluetooth-enabled, so like many Zigbee or Bluetooth-enabled devices, they require a special "Smart Bridge" device to be able to connect to Wifi. However, since our bulbs are "Made for Google," you have the added ability of connecting up to 6 of our smart lights directly to any Google Home device without a Smart Bridge device. We have a variety of Smart Bridge devices including our Smart Switches, Smart plugs, and C-Reach Smart Bridge. Our Smart Plug allows you to turn any plug in your home into a smart plug as well as serves as a Smart Bridge device. It costs about $20, and is now sold at most Best Buy locations. 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. - C by GE Customer Support

    These bulbs are pretty good and versatile but when they don't work, they don't work. I am talking about with google assistant here, the C by GE app might work better if you use it instead of Google Home. But, I purchased on the premise they worked with Google and they do... when they don't. Just a little frustrating. Dimming feature is great, get fairly bright. I like them. Wish they worked 100%
