    Installed Phillips Hue starter kit and both bulbs in same room. Easy set up, installed both lamps to same power strip. Both lights turn on through Alexa and Phillips Hue app. Great product.

    It works with either alexa or google home. I have it connect it to both of them. It dims, it gives a good amount of light. I love to be at bed, and just call it to shut the lights off :)

    I bought the "Google Home" a couple of months prior to this purchase of the "Philips - hue A19 Smart LED Light Bulb - White and color bulbs", and wanted to tie them together. It took a bit of time to figure it out but after several attempts, success. We lurchased the starter kit and the sales first gave us what she thought was the starter kit. I checked with another person at Best Buy and he confirmed what we had was not the starter set up kit. I would have been upsst if I went home with the wrong item. So, to Best Buy you need to tell your people its okay to "I don't know", its not sin. It is cool to tell "Google to turn on my lights and have it change the color.

    Easy to set up. Controls with phone app. or voice controlled with Alexa. A bit pricey, but worth the investment to have lights controlled before going into a dark house, or room.

    I bought this for my new house after having vouchers from my Best Buy Credit Card, and at first I hesitant on buying it/ if I would like it. I have it set up at my house for a bout 3 weeks now, and I LOVE it. It's easy to use the app on my phone to control the lights, I love that you can dim the lights to whatever level you want. I have not set the timer from the App yet- it looked a little confusing when I first looked through the app, but honestly I haven't had time to sit down and really look at how to set the timer. I plan on adding/ pairing more lights/ accessories now that I am settled down in the house, and cant wait to see the outcome!

    I have a large living room and I use a few lamps. having these named and accessible by an amazon echo is fantastic as opposed to going around to each light and switching it on manually.

    Love these. They were easy to install and easy to use with my Alexa. I had Phillips Hue and they were just not bright enough. These are bright enough and can be adjusted.

    This Phillip hue lights and bridge are very convenient and nice. Now, I don't need to worry to forget to turn off the light. I just check my smartphone and tune off the light with one click. You also can control the light remotely which is very nice. I would recommend to buy it.

    The product is somewhat ok by itself. I bought it as an upgrade for my first gen bridge to get homekit on my iphone and was barely satisfied with it. 1. No user manuals included. Most of it is guided by the app which is ok unless you run into issues and have to google your problem and hope you bump into a fix that works. Ran in to the famous icloud data sync error. it tooks many tries before i got it working (rebboting the bridge). 2. The app does not offer full functionality of HomeKit. E.g. You cannot set up rooms so if you have multiple lights in one and want to use siri you gotta adjust each light at a time instead of asking it to turn your kitchen lights orange. You can get this through third party apps but this just annoys me. Having to research a good one and have to do another install I would recommend it because it is mostly software annoyances and can be updated but just leaves me wanting it to be more for the moment and give it 2 stars. The benefit from bridge 1.0 to 2.0 are not that great to be honest.

    This was easy to set up and works with my cell phone and Google Home. It's great to be able to turn a light on and off from the driveway - no more having to enter / leave a dark home.

    We received a Amazon Alexa as a gift, was not all sure what to do with it, adding this starter light kit was very easy to set up and now we can control a couple lights with just our voice, this kit allows you to add 20 things to the hub that is included. We will add more eventually.

    These lights work great easy setup. Works with apples home kit so when I get near my house the lights are on. Also just tell my echo to turn them off, on or set the brightness level.

    This is a great product, the only ding that I give it is that the hub is not wireless. Other than that, it's great, you have total control over your lights, easy and simple to set up. Right now I have a total of 3 lights and am looking to get the lightstrip plus.

    I love my voice controlled lights! Pairing it with a Google Home, I can turn them on and off as well as dim the lights!! Also I can turn them on when away from home! Only downside is when the power goes out and comes back on (normally when I am not at home) all lights turn on.
