TP-Link - Kasa WIFI Smart A19 LED Light Bulb – Multicolor - White

I bought 2 of these TP-Link Kasa color and white smart bulbs for my Mom. She had been complaining about the LED bulbs in her living room being too bright at night when she was watching TV. I installed these bulbs in a standard ceiling mount light fixture and voila, problem solved! She can now tell her Alexa devices to dim the lights by a certain percentage, or she can change the color for mood lighting. The full color and white warmth array is excellent. She can have these lights change to warm white so they match the other bulb shades throughout the house. I would highly recommend these Kasa bulbs. Setup is very easy and no additional hub is required. They were ready to go right out of the box for voice control with an Echo Dot!

Yes, it's a smart bulb which can be controlled from your smartphone. You could change colors, set timers and what not. But the reason for 4 stars is because in the end it's just a light bulb, ask yourself how often will you be on your phone just adjusting this bulb or changing colors? Had it for months now haven't changed the color of the bulb as much, sure if someone comes over its a good conversation starter but that's all.

I purchased this light because I seen it had great reviews and DOES NOT use a HUB. Something I think is just a money grab from other companies... (Looking at you HUE). This light works perfectly!! Set up was a BREEZE and it produces awesome colors! I will be purchasing more for my home!! I would have bought a lot today but my bestbuy only had 2 in stock. The app works great and I connected Alexa which controls it fast! This is a must buy!

I am so impressed with this bulb. It is wifi enabled and doesn't need a bridge. It's reasonably priced and can be remotely controlled with the app or operated by voice. I wish Kasa made this bulb in the chandelier size for my ceiling fan lights. It's really great and the Kasa line of products is so easy to set up and manage

I first bought another brand of smart light and what a mistake. Other cheaper brands needs a wireless hub in order to connect to your wireless network. Without the wireless hub it will NOT connect. Tp-link kasa cost a little more but it allows you to download the application and boom you are able to connect to the google hub very easily.

It works perfectly. I really like it on my bedroom nightstand. I gave it four stars because the app sometimes needs to be restarted when you want to switch colors. And I wish it supported HomeKit. But I knew that before I bought the bulb. Great bulb. But I may look for more HomeKit supported bulbs.

This bulb worked for a week or so, then would not stay linked to Google Home. It installed easily enough, but one day, it would not respond to commands through my Google device. I re installed several times and all that, and it did work through th Kasa app, bu5 I didn’t buy it so I could just use the app to control it.

TP link makes great products and I like the Kasa app. We started with their plugs because we got some free with our echo dot purchases. These lights didn't disappoint either. They work really well with Amazon Echo devices. I can't really answer how well they play with Google's smart speaker.
