    Not good with Google Home

    The lights worked great the first couple of months but later-on they stopped working with my Google Home, I troubleshoot them and two are not found anymore with Google, you can still control them through the app but it defeats the purpose of using your voice to control them.

    Difficult to connect

    I have a smart house and primarily used Phillips Hue lights, but tried these because they were much less expensive than the Phillips lights. The lights are nice and great for the value, but they are difficult to get set up on the network and I had to order a hub from Amazon to get them to work with Alexa. The app is not very user friendly either.

      Hi there, Thanks for the review we appreciate it and we would like to assist a bit more.
      The Amazon Alexa device do require a C by GE hub in order to add our devices in.
      That is how they are designed I apologize for that but feel free to give our support team a call at 1-844-302-2943, or email us at help@cbyge.com we'll be more than happy to assist.

    Work with GE app, barely with Google Home

    The light bulbs are decent and work as expected. The hub, however, will keep dropping from the Google Home network. They work well enough through the C by GE App, but without Google Home you can't really use them well with the established Google Home system in your house. Can't comment on Alexa ecosystem yet, so that may work for you. Not recommended!

      Awakenedaz, thank you for your feedback! We have found that the naming of the lights can cause Google Home to retrun an "unable to connect" response. Make sure that each one of the lights has a unique name and does not contain the name of the room it is located within. The AI gets confused with exactly which bulb or room you are wanting to control. If you feel you need help with the naming of your devices, please reach out to our support team at 844-30C-BYGE (844-302-2943) or by email at help@cbyge.com

      Hi Atore, We agree, having out-of-home control over the lights in your home is a great feature. Not only from an energy saving point-of-view, but also from a security standpoint having out-of-home control is pivotal.  If you ever need any assistance in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team at 844-30C-BYGE (844-302-2943) or by email at help@cbyge.com

    Works as not advertised but the ge software is garbage to turn off and on you have to create a scene and schedule on and off time. App bulbs keep disappearing from app the wifi switch keeps dropping the bulbs. I m 20 ft or less from the bulbs app cant find bulls.
