RefossSmart Bulbs Works with Apple HomeKit, Color Changing Smart Light Bulbs Compatible with Siri, Alexa and Google Home, A19 LED Bulb, E26 Fitting, 2700K-6500K Dimmable, 9W 810 Lumens, 4 Pack

Purchased these bulbs to upgrade my older smart bulbs, and worth it!Pros:-These bulbs work with the ramp feature in Amazon Alexa routines, so now I can have the light in my bedroom gradually come on in the morning in my wake up routine. -The colors are a nice feature, you can have a soft white or any color at night, but bright or daylight white during the day.-The setup with Apple HomeKit was quick.Issues:-I have several Meross switches and outlets, and it appears that Refoss is the same or a related company. Anyway, after setting up in HomeKit, I tried to add a bulb in my Meross app, but it didn’t find it. (I looked in the Meross app version history, and it does show the MSL120 smart bulb added just like in the eHomeLife app.) So I installed the eHomeLife app used by Refoss, signed in with my Meross account, and it found it right away, and it also loaded all of my Meross devices. I switched back to my Meross app, and the Refoss bulb appeared there also. The apps are identical, and I like the widget. A plus with their widgets is they show if a device is on or off. HomeKit toggles don’t show the device state.Cons:-I set up and Alexa routine to ramp the light bulb in in the morning. It does increase the brightness every minute, but I’ve noticed that when it’s triggered, the bulb goes to full brightness for a second before dropping down to a lower light level and beginning the ramp up. I initially had the routine set up to change the color and then begin the ramp, but that resulted it it flashing full brightness twice. Not sure if this is an Alexa or bulb issue.-As with most led bulbs, the light is thrown upward in a table lamp, so a dark shade will block much of the light and it can be a bit dim on the tabletop. Not an issue specific to these bulbs, but something to be aware of.

UPDATED REVIEW:Purchased these a year ago. I was using one outside and due to a power failure the bulb became un-synced. My QR Homekit code and numbers had also worn off the bulb. I decided to see if the company could help. They did! They were able to send me the 8 digit homekit code that went with the bulb and it is working again! I would not hesitate to purchase from Refoss/Meross.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I took a picture of the QR code and then screwed in the lightbulb outside. By that time it had registered and opened my "Home" app and I was able to add the bulb to my "outside" room. Easy Peasy. This is the way adding a device should be. No extra app. I came back here to purchase another one.

Overall it is a good product. It was easy to install and I am very happy with the range of colors it offers. Most of the time, it returns the exact color I am asking it to set.One and only complain is the wifi strength. Bulbs keeps getting disconnecting from the wifi. They also don't respond to command time to time, which I also assume is related to wifi issues. If they improve their wifi connectivity, it will be a great product!

The Refoss Wi-Fi Smart Bulb RGB Color Changing bulb simply could not be connected with Apple Home. Not only that, but attempts to set it up using only the eHomlife app resulted in getting sent back to Apple Home for set up. After multiple attempts I’ve given up and returning it to Amazon.The pack comes with 2 bulbs. I started following the instructions. I had my iPhone 12 Pro with iOS 14.4 connected to the same 2.4 GHz WiFi as the bulb will connect to (normally I use 5 GHz for better performance). I put the bulb into a fixture in the same room as the router and close to my phone.When power was first applied the bulb lit warm white, then white. I attempted connecting to the iPhone. It showed up, I scanned the code for the bulb, so far so good. The bulb blinked to red, blue, and then went back to white. The iPhone kept trying to connect, and after several minutes it failed to connect.I reset the bulb (cycle power at least 3 times in 5 seconds) and got back to the set up. I repeated the above, I also tried manually finding the bulb, manually entering the code for the bulb, just about everything. I reset the bulb after each failed attempt. Same result, it wouldn’t connect. I then tried with an iPad Air 4th generation with iPad OS 14.4. Same result. I then tried with an older iPad Air first generation with iOS 12.5.1, same result.I did find that when the bulb cycled colors it actually did get connected to WiFi. Looking at my router I found a Meross smartbulb on my network. I was able to ping the bulb at the IP address it acquired through DHCP, so the bulb was connected. (Apparently GeFoss and Meross are the same bulbs.)I then tried the second bulb in the box and basically repeated the process, just using the appropriate code for the second bulb. As expected, the results were the same.I also tried the Home app on a new M1 based MacBook Air running Big Sur 11.2 to try and connect to the bulb, unsuccessfully.I installed the iHomelife app, and set up an account with the hope I could connect through this app, and hopefully do a software update to fix the other problems. Nope, didn’t work. The iHomelife app kicks you back to the Apple Home set up. I even tried connecting to the bulb after reset and was back in its WiFi AP mode manually on the iPhone, then went back to eHomelife app. The app would then tell me it wasn’t connected. I tried telling the eHomelife app it wasn’t an Apple Home device. That failed too. I scanned the code on the box if you have problems. The page that led to had some useless information written in poor English. Other than an email address there was no other support listed in the instruction sheets.I didn’t have an Android device to try, perhaps that would have been successful. I did try a browser on a Windows computer. With the bulb in the AP mode again I connected to its WiFi, found it at the gateway at 10.1010.1 and tried to see if it was hosting a web page in AP mode. It did request a username and password, but nothing else. Enough time spent.I then looked at reviews and Google to see if others had this problem and if there was a solution. I didn’t find any At, this point after wasting probably well over 4 hours I gave up. I rarely return stuff on Amazon, especially during a pandemic, but I requested a return for this.I consider myself highly proficient in electronics and if it was this hard for me, I would strongly suggest you look for another option. I would advise avoiding Meross as well since these appear to be the same product.The pairing to Apple Home needs to be improved, and they absolutely should provide a method other than through Apple Home to connect to the lamp. It would seem that even if there were a software update to fix this, it couldn’t be installed because you need to connect to it first.It seems worth the 1 star as the bulb does actually light up. Without control it does light up an extremely cool white that seems bluer than Daylight.

Great value for these lightbulbs. They were easy to set up once I got past some challenges with my wireless router and Apple home.Tips before starting:1 - you will need to turn off the 5 GHz band. If you attempt to setup without turning off, you'll get stuck and have to reset the bulbs.2 - you may need to start a new Apple Home. My home was corrupted and I kept getting stuck trying to add the lights. Once I started a new home, they were setup in minutes.To reset the bulb, you need to turn the light on/off 5 times in 5 seconds, then leave off for 5 seconds.If it any point in the set up, you get to the point where the lightbulbs start flashing different colors, but are not finalized, you will need to reset the lightbulb and start over. Make sure your wireless is on the correct band.

El producto me sirvió bien, se conecta bien con la app casa y cambio de colores bien y la puedo cambiar a los colores e intensidad que yo quiera, considero que el producto vale lo que cuesta. La unica situación es que pedí 3 paquetes y solo llego uno, pero solicité el reembolso de los productos que no llegaron y no hubo problema. Estoy contenta con mis focos inteligentes.

Primer día de funcionamiento todo excelente con HomeKit no se necesita nada más puse aprueba unos atajos y espero que funcionen bien! Su brillo está bastante bien más que un foco led normal. Solo que el paquete que lo enviaron era una bolsa y las cajas llegaron maltratadas al ser fotos deberían de poner en caja de cartón con bolsas de aire y poner frágil en la etiqueta

Los focos son un poco latosos de instalar, funcionan bien con ambientaciones, aunque lo que no me agrada es que no puedo cambiar el color para cada ambientación, siempre prende con el último coló que se quedó. Últimamente los focos han fallado, ya que aunque los prenda por medio del teléfono, después de estar encendidos durante mucho tiempo se desconectan del hub (HomePod) y dejan de responder, eso es muy molesto. Lo sigo utilizando simplemente para regular el nivel de luz y cuando se le pega la gana (al foco) para que la ambientación funcione.

The media could not be loaded.  Fácil configuración, funciona muy bien con lo de Apple sin usar las apps externas con mi HomePod mini y el otro se integra súper!

Se me hizo facilísimo el emparejamiento (pairing) entre los focos y Siri; lo mismo para CASA de Apple. Felicidades, super amigable instalación.
