    Great Home Automation for Apartments

    First LED bulbs are great energy savers, but this starter set for home automation is great because it doesn't require an electrician or a computer science major to set up. Now I can control my lights from my phone. Really handy.

    Great for Automated Control of Lights

    I connected the bulbs to my Google Home device and set up voice commands to turn lights on and off with different phrases with ease. Can also set the location of bulbs to a specific room and command the Google Assistant via voice to turn lights on/off or control brightness based on the location. Downside is that hub has to be wired to modem, which is only a problem if you have limited options for modem locations. I plan to get more lights to eventually automate the entire house.

    This product was great companion to our Echo. It has definitely made life easier having a newborn and making numerous late night trips to the kitchen. It was a little tricky getting everything set up but once I figure out that you must use the amazon account that has the prime (in my case the wife's phone with her amazon app because mine would show it set up but not follow voice commands saying "please set up...." Now we got various different set ups for different things and whwn its bed time one command turns everything off.

    Really love my new Philips Hue light system. Just wish I had more rooms in the house set up to work with it, but currently working on changing my light switches to “smart switches,” as that’s the only way to fully utilize the smart light bulbs. You can control from the app no problem, but guests and family won’t always remember to leave the switch on or that the lights are motion activated/disabled. Wish Philips Hue offered a better integrated switch to replace existing ones with...

    Difficulty with scheduled deliveries

    I had a major issue with receiving emails and calls that I was going to have my dishwasher delivered and installed. I stayed home one day and no one came. Then I found out the order was split in 3, dishwasher, installation and haul away. The calls and emails that said they were coming were based on them installing and hauling away, one problem, they did not have my dishwasher. After at least 5 hours on the phone over the next 7 days and talking to many folks most of which never called me back, I finally got one case manager who was not assigned to my case to help. The thing is we like the dishwasher and the two guys who came to install 7 days later were great but what a mess I went through and it left a very bad taste in my mouth. I love Best Buy and will always be a fan but I may never have anything delivered again.
