Linkind Matter Smart Light Bulb,1100LM 75W Smart Bulbs Work with Alexa/Apple Home/Google Home/SmartThings, RGBTW LED Color Changing Bulbs Music Sync, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Light Bulbs LED 11W, A19 E26, 2Pack

We had to switch from our bulbs because they were no longer functioning with the Alexa. These were easy to set up except for trying to use the same routine name. I love having the option to dim and to go from white light to soft light. They seemed to be priced well and comparable to other brands, but I wanted the 'matter' brand for the ease and compatibility. There are a lot of colors to choose from and I do enjoy watching my daughter have fun with all the presets.

Works like a charm. Replacement for a different brand that suddenly stopped connecting, these connected easy. Simple to use with or without Alexa.

I had to replace a few old bulbs and plugs that were only compatible with Alexa. The Linkind smart bulbs are Matter compatible, which means I can connect them to both, Alexa and Apple Home. They're set up and connected to both systems within 2 minutes and I don't need a bridge anymore to make my accessories work. Also, they turn on and off gradually which is very nice. They react to inputs form Apple HomeKit or Alexa immediately but have a nice ramp up to 100% brightness. Best smart bulbs I've had so far.

Update: The seller addressed my concerns and I am happy with the resolution provided. After updating the firmware these bulbs work with HomeKit without using a separate app, although they do not support adaptive lighting. I would consider buying more of these in the future if adaptive lighting can be added via firmware update. Initially I was happy with these bulbs, they are priced well and matter compatible. However, after pairing them to HomeKit I noticed that two of the 6 bulbs were not maintaining their WiFi connection. I have not had an issue with any other devices, and I am using 2.4ghz for my smart home. Also, the music and adaptive features for these bulbs are not available through Apple Home. In an effort to improve the connection and use all of the advertised features, I downloaded their “Aidot” app from the Apple App Store. I registered and re-paired all 6 bulbs through their app first, then HomeKit. The two problematic bulbs still had the same issue, and all of them were difficult to pair through the Aidot app, requiring multiple attempts to connect to WiFi. They all installed a firmware update which I hoped would resolve the issues. However, this did not resolve the problem. Finally I decided to reset the two bad bulbs, and then pair them in HomeKit first, then the Aidot app. This did mostly resolve the connectivity issue, with occasional disconnects for a minute or two. My real issue comes with their app. I installed it on my iPhone 15 pro, set everything up, and went to sleep. When I woke up my battery had drained from 90% to 12%. Upon checking the Battery usage, the Aidot app had been consistently running in the background since I installed it. Force closing it temporarily stops the behavior, but it did massively drain my battery when left in the background.

This connects in seconds to Apple HomeKit, and I can use HomeKit and even Siri to change the color...pretty wild. So far i has worked flawlessly. I'm using this outdoors in my lamp post where it is protected from the elements.

For some reason, the app from the last smart bulbs I bought just decided Nope! I went thru the whole list of restarts, and reinstalls and re-adds and EVERYTHING and I could not get the app to 1) add certain bulbs or 2) connect to Alexa. So I bought this bundle of bulbs and plugs from Linkind so everything is now on the same app. They all added seamlessly. The Aidot app linked to the Alexa skill easily and my whole system is back up and running just fine. And I would also like to note that I have extremely hinky internet. I initially thought the problem with the old app was the internet and that I would have the same issues with the new hardware. Nope. All is fine! We shall see if they last cuz another problem I had with the old bulbs was they didn't seem to last very long. Fingers crossed. PS-the whole Matter thing? I thought it was something else altogether and I just ignored it and set mine up as regular bulbs and plugs.

Matter is a new smart devices connectivity standard agreed upon by the industry. It makes it possible to connect devices from different manufacturers to your smart home system without having to use multiple hubs or apps. It also simplifies the process of connecting a new device to your setup. Unfortunately this implementation of the standard is flawed. I am not sure if the culprit is outdated chips or bad software, but my experience is as follows: 1. when the lightbulb is first turned on, smartthings recognizes it and throws a popup asking if you want to add it to your system, I tap "add" 2. Next you are prompted to scan a QR code on the device. 3. after scanning you are presented with a list of available WIFI networks, pick the right one 4. Error message shows up claiming that my WIFI is using WEP (not true) and is unsecure, the 2 options are "cancel" and "connect anyway". 5. the app asks for WIFI password (in my case it just pulled it up, since I have connected multiple devices already), and "connect" button is greyed out, can't move past that screen. Matter only supports 2.4Ghz and my network is setup to use both 2.4Ghz and 5 Ghz. I have already connected multiple matter switches to my setup without any issues. If matter connectivity is important to you, better look elsewhere...

We are getting ready to travel. For years we’ve used mechanical light switch timers. If there is a power outage while we are gone, the mechanical timers end up turning on/off the lights at odd times. We thought we’d give these smart lights a try - they should remember the correct time if there’s a power outage. They are quite easy to set up. The iOS app requires no instructions - it’s that easy to program the lights to do their jobs: turn on/turn off at specified times. You can program party colors, mood lighting, auto-dimming. Many possibilities. I’m not very imaginative, so we are happy with the basic, bright, white light of the default setting.

Fácil de usar justo lo que pedí compatible con Apple
