Sengled Zigbee Smart Light Bulbs, Smart Hub Required, Works with SmartThings and Echo with Built-in Hub, Voice Control with Alexa and Google Home, Soft White 60W Eqv. A19 Alexa Light Bulb, 2 Pack

Great bulbs, wouldn’t hesitate to buy again!
I purchase those mainly because they were one of the only affordable bulbs that would integrate with Samsung Smartthings hub. They are very reliable and I have been using them for about a year and a half. So far not a single one has failed. They are only a 60w replacement so not very bright if that is what you are looking for. But as a general use bulb works great. I have also integrated them with Google home and can control them with voice commands as well. Only time I ran into an issue where the light would not turn on was because someone shut off the light switch powering that bulb, but that is not a reflection on the bulb by any means, just got to make sure this bulb always has power. Also if you come into the room where the light is off and the switch is turned on, instead of pulling out the phone to use the app or yelling “hey google/Alexa turn on the light” you can flip the switch off and then on again. Just a quick flip will turn the light on for you. It will also retain the dim settings, so if you had the light at full brightness before the light was turned off, next time it comes on it will be at full brightness as well. Great bulbs, wouldn’t hesitate to buy again!

Great price, and these work with Vera Plus, no hub required
First of all, I am a VeraPlus user, using these Sengled zigbee LED bulbs without the Sengled hub.WHY I CHOSE THESE:I bought these looking for cost effective smart bulbs for the various free standing lamps we have around the house. I do not use these in any situations were I have multiple bulbs connected together and controlled by a single switch (or 3-way switch) such as the living room because a rooms with multiple bulbs are more cost effective to just change the single switch and… I like to retain the normal operation and manual dimming control from the light switch.Ok, back to the free standing lamps. For example, in our bedroom we have a bedside light on each side of the bed, a lamp sitting on a table across the room and a lamp at the top of the stairs next to the bedroom door. We use these every evening and I like them to come on at dusk as well. In this case I previously had a GoControl Z-wave dimmer module on each one. The GoControl modules are rather large (bulky/ugly) and at $20 each cost double the price of a these Sengled LED bulbs.DETAILS ABOUT PAIRING WITH VERA PLUS:Details on Pairing these Sengled E11-G13 bulbs with your Vera Plus: The first bulb I tried paired OK using the Zigbee generic device template, but soon after it stopped responding. I tried multiple times with multiple bulbs after this and could not get any of them to pair again. Reading on the Vera forum I came across a thread (Credit to author “Nameless” who recommended setting these up using the Sylvania/Osram Zigbee bulb template (just type Sylvania in the search bar when adding a new device and it will show up. The Veraplus instantly found each bulb using the method and knew it was not a Sylvania but said it was ok and proceeded. This is discussed further at the Vera forum in thread number 47407Also note that after pairing each bulb, it took a few minutes for the device to show correctly in My Devices. At first, the variable dimmer slider did not show but after a few minutes and a Control+F5 refresh of the screen they are all showing correctly.OPERATION AND PERFORMANCE:Granted I just paired these, they seem to be responsive; my controller is 2 stories below them. These support ON/OFF and DIM with 0-100% gradient. The light output is a nice moderate warm color and they are low power 0-9watts.One thing to note is that the lowest setting of 1% is still brighter than when I was using a GoControl zwave lamp module with an incandescent bulb and I do miss that really warm dim setting for our bedside lighting.I recommend these Sengled LED bulbs as a cost effective option for smart control of free standing lamps in conjunction with VeraPlus.

Actualizacion 6 años después: los focos aún funcionan PERO perdieron la funcionalidad de comandos remotos. Tienen el gran defecto de depender de servidores centralizados, y como esos servidores fueron apagados, los focos han sido degradados a focos comunes y corrientes. Una pérdida de dinero.Los focos tienen buena calidad y cumplen su propósito sin inconveniente. Se pueden programar, usar a través de la aplicación o de Alexa, regular su intensidad y sincronizarlo con otras apps con IFTTT. En general se conectan sin mayor problema ya que solo tienes que conectar el hub a tu modem, los focos los puedes enroscar en cualquier enchufe para focos de tu casa y podrás controlarlos con la app después de que se sincronicen, lo cual no lleva más de dos minutos.Para los que dicen que no pueden usarlo con su Alexa en México: Sí puedes usar el skill de Sengled en México. Solo tienes que cambiar la región del contenido digital de Kindle de México a Estados Unidos en la página de Amazon, reinicias la app de Alexa y la podrás bajar. Después puedes regresar la región a México y la skill de Sengled seguirá funcionando. Opcionalmente también puedes usarlo a través de IFTTT, pero tendrás que decir los comandos en espanglish.

Needed smart lights in a stairway the needed to be lit only when in use – these save me from having to bark commands at my smart home setup every time. Also very bright. Motion sensor is a bit overly sensitive, but I haven’t figured out whether that can be turned down.
