Works great, but we don't have enough lamps to place them all. Not a great option for lights with multiple switches

I was so excited finally get some smart light bulbs for my house. The installation was easy. I just screwed in the light bulbs & put the plug in the outlet. Then I downloaded the application to my phone. My phone was able to identify the lights and turn them on and off.
But then about a 1/2 hour later, my phone no longer recognized them. I wanted to turn the the lights on again, and I had to go stand up and turn the light off and on by hand. This let my phone identify the lights again, but it seems that I have to do this every single time. This of course makes this product utterly worthless. In addition to that, the response time between my phone and the light bulbs are exceedingly long. In most cases it doesn't even work.
I tried to hook it up to Google home & it won't work.
I try to invite my family members, and that didn't work either.
My dad has TP link Kasa smart and it works swimmingly. He lent it to me for my house just to try it, and it worked perfectly. I was able to connect it to my smartphone and invite family members and connect it to Google home so I could give voice commands to turn it on and off.

Be Careful Using with Google Home

I purchased this kit and have been totally disappointed with integration with Google Home App. The plug does not work with Google Home. You can get the bulbs to work with Google Home for a day or two, then they stop working. Requires total reset of the bulbs and reconnect to Google Home. Google Home support is no help. C by GE informed me of issues connecting with Google Home specifically with the plug. Save yourself grief, do not buy if you plan to use with Google Home.

gsrdriver92, We are sorry to hear you are having issues using your C by GE devices with Google Home. Because we are both a Works with Google and a Made for Google product there are two ways to link with Google Home. Since you have the on/off smart plug, it is best to set up the plug and lights with the C by GE app first, then link the C by GE account to your Google Home app via the "Works with Google" option in the "set up a device" process. We would really like the opportunity to help get your lights working up to your standards, please give our Support team a call at 844-302-2943 or by email at help@CbyGE.com

These are great led lights when they work. Every day I have to mess with the app to control the lights with my phone. The lights did with with Alexa when I first got them but that only lasted a few days so now Alexa can’t turn them on or off. I should of spent the extra money and bought name brand smart bulbs.

Nothing but connection problems. I'm constantly having to re-initialize the bulbs in the app. Compared to my WIZ and Hue bulbs these are useless. In fact the have been relegated to the bathroom :). It may have something to do with this being a bluetooth blub, but I don't know. Either way, I would suggest everyone to go with a true wifi bulb and skip the hassle.

Hi there thanks for providing a great review. These wifi bulbs operate on a 2.4ghz wifi network anything below would have issues with connectivity. We greatly appreciate you giving it a try.
