    these are a great and easy alternative to buying a whole new lighting fixture to have some smart lights in your room. I had a slight problem at first controlling 2 at the same time thru my Google home but just had to rename them.

    These are a very safe and cost effective way to try out smart bulbs. They fit in any standard light socket and will work as a regular bulb unless set up. It takes no time at all to set up (my experience is with Google Home) and they have worked flawlessly. I've bought 7 total of these bulbs and couldn't be happier with their performance. I haven't had a single issue with them.

    These are great lights, affordable and you don't need a hub! My only complaint is that you cannot set schedules like the phillips hue. Maybe I have not figured it out yet, but you cannot do it in the Google Home app, which seems a bit ridiculous...

      Hi Betab! Thank you for taking the time to review our product. We are glad that you are happy with your new smart lights. You are correct. The Google Home app does not have any kind of Automation or timer feature. Since our bulbs are "Made for Google," they can connect directly to any Google Home device without the need for a hub or smart bridge device. This does limit you to whatever controls are available in the Google Home app. The C by GE app does have an Automation feature that will allow you to set timers for your lights, but you would need to unlink all of your bulbs from the Google Home app, then set them up in the C by GE app. You would however need a Smart Bridge device such as a C-Reach or one of our smart switches to control your lights remotely, or to use Google Assistant. 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

    Unlike some of the other smart bulbs like the Phillips Hue, the C by GE bulbs do not require a hub or additional hardware when setting up with a Google Home. The Google Home device itself acts as the hub and doesn't even need a third party app. It just finds the bulbs in the same way it can find first party Google devices.

    Had some bonus certificates and decided to try a smart light bulb. Most of my smart tech is Amazon but have the small Google also so wanted to try it out too. Easy hook up and works very well. Pleased with the product.

    My first purchase of Smart Bulbs. I have an overhead light that the switch is not easy to get to. These eliminated that aggravation completely. As soon as I put the bulbs in the socket, the Google Home system detected them (no hub needed). Now I can control these very easily from my Home Mini by voice or on my phone. Very easy to setup and I plan to buy more.

    These lights are easy to use and simple to setup. I currently own 4 and plan to buy 2 more. They are made to pair directly with Google home, but I use the c by GE app for more customization of scheduling and use with my GE smart switch. GE customer service is also pretty good based on the interaction I had regarding a smart switch issue.

    I installed the 4 lights in a ceiling fan. I encountered no problem connecting the lights both with Alexa and Google Home. One can even through Alexa have the lights go on automatically if you set Alexa that you're away from home. The lights when positioned at full strength are much better than the lights they replaced in terms of brightness.

    Easy to install and they connect right away to your google home environment, pretty much plug and play, there is no need to buy a hub like HUE lights that require a hub to sync to your google home network. I have these in my living room, I added them to my evening routine schedules and they worked like a charm I'm definitely getting more of these.

    I bought these thinking they would work directly with my Alexa. It turned out I needed the Home Kit. So I returned them. They seem like a nice lightbulb, but I don't want to invest in the homekit.

    Great lights! Love that I’m able to control them with my Google home device. Also love you can control the dim feature with the Google home app. If you don’t have these lights I recommend! They’re the cool color so they aren’t the yellowish type which I don’t like.

    It was an easy setup with Google Home. Now, when we're sitting down in our family room after popping some popcorn, ready to watch a movie or show, instead of choosing somebody to go back and turn off the lights, we just say "Ok Google, turn off the kitchen lights" :)

    I bought these along with a Google mini. What a joy to be able to tell Google to turn the lights on and off, dim one to a certain percent, dim another to another percent, etc. No hub needed. Works with smart things and the Google Home app. Bought them for all my kids for the holidays and they loved it, too. (all grown and on their own)!
