Koogeek Wi-Fi Enabled E27 8W Color Changing Dimmable Smart LED Bulb

I’ve purchased 10 of these for my home so far. Mainly because of their HomeKit support and no requirement for a separate hub. They work great and generally I have no issues. Unfortunately one of them malfunctioned recently. It just stopped coming on one day and would only blink sporadically. Resetting it didn’t help. So I contacted customer service and explained what was happening. They advised me to purchase a replacement and refunded me the cost. A really great product with great customer service. Highly recommended!

Nice to have for iOS side of things. Most multicolor lights are Echo/Google only and Siri needed some love. Works very well for accents and also a good reading lamp. NOTE: This light currently has a conflict with the Google Home Hub. When connected to the Hub, the light resets at random (goes to full white). Once removed from GHH, it’s been perfect.

A light bulb that can be controlled from any mobile (with iOS) to turn it off or change the color, allows you to create a different environment in any corner. We have placed it in a corner of the dining room in a standing lamp, changing the tone of the light gives a totally different aspect to any area, the children love it because they can change the color and create a disco in the dining room.

I was a little reluctant that some of this was useful in my house and the truth is that it is incredible and according to what super useful. To acquire it for my little one, since sometimes at night it is interesting to be able to leave a light on and shortly turn it off to get used to and this comes from luxury. Seeing the package and what weighs we realize that it is not an ordinary bulb, because this bulb apart from Wifi includes bluethoot to synchronize, in this case my Ipad mini 2, after downloading the App Koogeek Home, you just need to follow the instructions to register the light bulbs or other devices of the brand, it asks for a Qr code, which does not come, but if a series of numbers in the box of the bulb, you must press that you do not have the code and let them put them, turn on the bluethoot to match and you will be registered for its use, super easy. Now from the room we can turn off and turn on that light at will and change it color as it is RGB, with very solid colors that will not be appreciated in the video, but live is a joy. Needless to say, how ambilight is as easy as putting it on any lamp. I emphasize above all the materials and finishes of the bulb and its easy use.

The cap of the bulb is E27, the 'fat' round of all life (the thin is E14). It is to thread, ignite, link with the APP and ready. Advantages over Philips HUE; No bridge required (€ 50 saved) Advantages over Yeeligth; It is compatible with Apple HomeKit in a simple way (currently there is some 'homemade' solution with a Raspberry Pi and it seems that by the end of 2018 / early 2019 Yeeligth will release an update to make it compatible, but at the moment nothing). Disadvantages with both; It is not 'brand' with what I understand that the issue of updates will be more limited. Be careful with this; because the application can only control the light bulb if we have iOS, at the moment from Android it can not be controlled (according to the comments of Google Store, they will launch a compatible version in May 2018). In connection with third-party connectivity there is no problem, in addition to its own APP to be compatible with Apple Homekit we have guaranteed control over it. Soon they will support Alexa, according to the APP. Your APP comes complete, well developed and without forgetting anything (modes, scenes ...). It is linked in a simple way, put the code of the box and ready, ask for a user (email) and a password, although you do not have to validate the mail. The bulb illuminates well both in 'ambient' mode (colors) and in 'illumination' mode (white). Some comrade commented that he had problems with disconnection with Wi-Fi, I have not had any, the first time it cost to link, then without problem.
