Yes I have 2.4 and can get the bulb to flash fast, but can not get it to connect. I've tried slow flash and logged WiFi into bulb but notable to connect on S8

@TheTechnologyMan 4 жыл бұрын

They can be a little fiddly to connect sometimes. If you've factory reset and it's still not working I'd contact their support ... Good luck.

at about 5:30 in the video, when you're creating a group of lights, you move so fast through the screens that it's impossible to follow.,

@TheTechnologyMan 4 жыл бұрын

Apologies - only suggestion would be to slow down the video (KZfaq lets you do this) - or pause the video ... I have the written article at thetechnologyman.com if that's easier to follow - and you can enable captions ....

Is this good as a room light? Is it a good idea to use this to light up your entire room?

@TheTechnologyMan 4 жыл бұрын

Just about in white mode (not in any colour mode). We use one in a floor standing light.

@belly818 4 жыл бұрын

hey i know i’m about a month late but the RGB modes aren’t super bright but look pretty darn good in the dark, if your trying to do RGB with light already in the room then maybe look for something else. the white mode is pretty bright tho

Can you use voice command to set multi colour?

You should be able to set up a voice command for anything you can configure in the app as far as I remember.

When I screw the bulb in, it doesn't light up at all. I bought two packs and all 4 bulbs do the same. They have never lit up. Is there something I can do?

@TheTechnologyMan 11 ай бұрын

Very hard to say - they are unlikely to be the same version that I reviewed but have you tried turning the light switch on and off to trigger pairing?

In the Smart Life app tap on the bulb, edit and scroll to the bottom for a factory reset option ... Then start again - from 1:43 in my video.

@Jesteriandt 4 жыл бұрын

@@TheTechnologyMan What I mean is that the bulb is not detected by the application because I cannot reset/restart it with the on/off x3 method. I wanted to ask if you knew the timing for the on/off part. Cheers.
