When the lights work it’s great!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My review would be 4 or 5 stars but the lightbulb stopped responding to the google assistant after only a couple of months. Tried to reset the lights with no luck.
I would recommend this to a friendThey don’t turn on sometime
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought about 14 of them and have them set in different room each room with a google home. Every once in a while they won’t turn on or off using the google home and it’s a pain to re sync them

I would recommend this to a friendDevice discounts from bulb
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this product on sale and thought it was a great deal. But, Honestly I don't know if the Google home mini is the problem or the bulb. I have used it for a month and at first it worked perfect. I didn't have any issues. I would turn on the light bulb in the morning with out telling Google to turn it on and it would turn on then I would tell Google to turn it off without any problem. Unfortunately everything is not perfect, after a week or less the Google mini would not work. Either the mini would not send the signal or the bulb would not respond. I don't know since they work together. I thought the problem occurred when I turn off the light WITH the switch, I ended tapping the switch so I wouldn't use it. But after 3 or 4 days the light didn't respond again. I have bestbuy buy elite and today is my last day to return it. Bestbuy buy is closed but It won't stop me form writing this review. If your like me the only way of fixing the problem is resetting the bulb and connecting it again with the Google mini. I'll try the GE APP this time and if it works for more then a week then the mini is the problem. I hope Google fixes the problem or GE .

Great light kit with Google Home
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This light kit with Google Home Mini is a nice combo. Setup was a breeze. After setting everything up, I was able to turn my lamp On & Off by voice. I was also able to adjust the brightness. I was curious if my Echo Dot could get it to work, but unfortunately I wasn't able to do so. Light Bulb works fine with Google products. I was also able to control the light from my other Google Home I own.
