Amazon Alexa Enabled Smart LED Light Bulbs | Full Setup Demo and Troubleshooting

I walk you through setup showing you how to connect the LED smart bulbs to Alexa and even give you some troubleshooting tips. Let's find out how well they work and if you should add them to your smart home setup. They also work with Google Assistant. 👀The bulbs reviewed in this video are no longer available but I found some that use the same exact app. So the setup you see in this video should still apply. These only come in a 2-pack. Find them here: amzn.to/3nZDE3g
Thank you to Onforu for providing the bulbs for review.
🙏🏾AS ALWAYS, GOD BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!🙏🏾

Hi Mr. Gadget. Quick question on a video you did some time back on the Tello Drone. I am looking to Purchase one with the GameSir T1d Controller it is sold with the Drone. According to your video the Tello should stay away from Blue tooth signals. Doesn't this controller work by Bluetooth?

@GadgetInspector 3 жыл бұрын

I have found that bluetooth causes the video to skip/drop frames. Not sure if that's just with certain devices, but generally, when I turn it off my video turns out waaayyy smoother.

Have just subscribed and very impressed. Thanks for sharing. My wife, who is very ill, has just received an Alexa Echo dot for Christmas. Ability to turn on a few lights using Alexa would be a Godsend. I eagerly await an order for some Smart bulbs for our bedroom Fanlight. I’ve been scouring KZfaq for tutorials on installation of Smart bulbs. My main question is do I have to download a native app or can I just plug them in and set up using Alexa App? I think you have answered my question. Err ….like your ‘Night Time’ like voice. Many thanks.

@GadgetInspector 3 жыл бұрын

Well hello there John, glad you found the video and it was of some usefulness. Yep, you will need to download the native app because you'll need to link that account/skill to the Amazon Alexa app. Once you've done that though, you won't even need to open the Smart Life app again, you can just control it with your voice or from the Alexa app. Hope this makes things easier on the Misses.

Really pushing my luck here in asking for your response to another issue. I have now set up( all thanks to you) 3 smart lamps and a smart plug that drives a table lamp. Also 2 groups for said lamps. It works perfectly if I ask Alexa to turn them on/off, however if my wife asks Alexa, it doesn't work! Any other commands that she gives to Alexa, do work. We are both using our own Amazon accounts. I set up the lamps on just my Alexa App. Should I set them up on her Alexa App too? Any ideas GI or, indeed, anybody else? Sorry to be a pain....

@GadgetInspector 3 жыл бұрын

@@montymagic5886 Try having her add a voice profile in her app (I’m assuming she has the app on her phone and you on yours) (if not, log out on your phone and sign back in. That will allow you to add her as a user). Next, go to settings, account settings, recognized voices, and create a voice profile. Hope that does it.
