    This is a great starter item to get started playing with smart home technology. Hook up was fairly easy, all items worked as expected. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

    I bought these lights- the starter kit and two additional lights for when we would be gone on vacation. I set them up the night before and they worked perfectly. Our neighbors told us rooms in the house lit up and shut off randomly in the evening. I will be buying more!

    This starter kit was very easy to install. It was a simple plug and play. The LED lighting really lights up the room. The only issue is the bulbs occasionally lose connection to the hub. I haven't trouble shot it yet but if I can fix that issue this will be an easy 5 star.

    The place I just moved into makes you cross the kitchen to get to an interior light switch, which isn't great at night. I connected the Hue to my Echo and simply tell Alexa to turn on the lights. The white bulbs provide excellent, quality light that is very comfortable. This really does work best with a voice system as the app is garbage. The app won't let you put the same bulb in 2 different groups, but Echo does. I have a bulb in the main area and one in a bedroom and can control them together or independently through Echo but not the Hue app. I will be adding a bulb to the second bedroom now that I know how handy Hue is.

    Replaced Incandescent with Smart LED

    I had 3 1200 lumen in the kitchen lights and they were great. But I decided to go with smart bulbs to work them with phone app and also work them with Amazon Echo "Alexa". And they work great, every now and then they dont turn on with the echo but it happens seldom. The dimming is very nice. App work good on apple phone. The only thing I would say they are not very bright might need 2 or more per fixture. Mine are in fixture with glass dome on it. Maybe if they were out in the open they would be brighter but they work great. After having these 1 week I went and bought the color changing ones and moved these to a lamp and doorway light.

    These work great, easy to control from yourAmazon echo or from your iPhone/iPad with the Apple Home Kit. Buy additional bulbs to extend the system to different rooms.

    I purchased the A19 starter kit, along with three single bulbs to outfit my great room ceiling fan fixture. In addition to this, I bought three B30 white and ambiance bulbs. After installing the app on my Apple iPhone, only two of the A19 bulbs were detected. I had to perform a software/hardware update, after which all bulbs were detected and controllable by the app. Everything was fairly straightforward and simple to install. The only difficulty or problem that I encountered was setting the iPhone up to remotely control the lights via the Phillip's My Hue web site. I was unable to log in to the site from the phone, although logging in from a Mac using the same username/password was successful. Pairing to my Amazon Alexa was simple and works pretty well. You can ask Alexa to turn the lights on or off as well as setting the lights to various colors or dimmer settings. Pretty cool.

    Great product, but does not "just work"

    The bulbs do not sync with the base unit at setup time, leaving you to read a very small serial number and hand enter it. One bulb was defective out of the box, So we had 3 examples that required manual set up. I love the concept, and the integration with our Amazon Alexa makes the product awesome in spite of the clunky set up.
