    The lights worked in the beginning with Alexa then stoped and have not worked with her since. Need to go on the app each time.

      Depending on how you were wanting the devices to function, with the smart plug and the lights you should have been able to connect to both Alexa and Google Home. We are sorry to hear you returned the product. Hopefully, we can win you back sometime soon.

    I bought this bulb and enabled automation from C by GE app. It worked for 2-3 weeks and now the automation seems like not working as the lights are always on unless I manually turn them off. I reset the schedule multiple times with no luck. It consistently keeps disconnecting and doesn’t serve the purpose of automatically turning on/off based on the schedule I created.
