Yes for a single “light bulb” it is expensive, BUT you get what you pay for, it was instantly recognised by the app, and alexa found it quickly too (sometimes too well) For me it is great that via the app it will come on/go off at specific times as well as change its brightness at those times, I have it set up to dim to almost nothing to act as night light, and as its controllable by Alexa it is easy to dim it up or down, I have several around the house, I also find that Alexa understands better if you give the lamp a number instead of a name. Overall, very happy
Have these all over the house. They work brilliantly when you’re carrying from one room to another, or just plain dog-tired. Love being able to raise/lower the brightness as required. You need a Phillips hub to fully get the best out of them though, not just Alexa.
My only gripe is the occasional ‘loss of connection’ advising me to check my hub or my internet connection when both are working perfectly.
Had a problem recently where I had to delete and recreate the rooms I had set up (comprising of multiple bulbs). All working fine again now, although the Alexa phone app is still telling me that the “server is unresponsive”. Not a deal-breaker and NOT a fault of these bulbs but certainly very annoying. I hope they rectify that sometime soon.
Easy to add to my existing Hue bridge, and I really like that you can now choose a warmer or a cooler white. Alexa automatically discovered the new bulbs so very easy integration there. Hue bulbs are more expensive and you need a hub, but compared to a few other smart bulbs I’ve had over the years these are far easier to set up, they’re more reliable, the app is easy to use and has plenty of scenes/sequences available, and there are plenty of 3rd party apps as well. I don’t need coloured bulbs everywhere so these are perfec
