Hevanto Wi-Fi Smart Light Bulb Compatible with Alexa, No Required Adapter, RGB Colour, Turn ON/OFF Electronics and Change Colour from Anywhere (5 Pack)

I bought these to compliment my TP Link bulbs, since they were so much cheaper than the colored bulbs that TP Link offers, I figured I'd give them a chance.I outfitted my entire house with smart LED bulbs, which included two different kinds of "on-brand" TP Link bulbs and then a 5 pack of the Hevanto colored bulbs. I have them all connected to my Amazon Alexa to control the lights with my voice.First off, getting them connected wasn't a huge issue, and getting them integrated with Alexa also wasn't a problem. Alexa can group them together with my TP link bulbs, and they work well as groups. For example, I have one TP link bulb and one of these Hevanto bulbs grouped together in my hallway, and when I ask Alexa to turn on the hallway lights, both bulbs turn on at the same time.However, there are a few issues. First, whenever the app that controls the bulbs gets updated (the TuyaSmart app), the bulbs lose connection with Alexa. I have to delete the integrated app in the Alexa app, then re add all the bulbs manually, including back into my groups. Happened twice now. As well, Alexa CANNOT change the color of these bulbs. You have to use Tuya to be able to change the color. Alexa can change the brightness, but that's it. Sort of a bummer if I want to change the color because it means I have to have my phone with me.The bulbs also have sort of a harsh color. Certain colors at medium to high brightness actually really bother my eyes. Nothing painful, but it's just too harsh for my tastes. When I use the colored mode, I usually have to set the brightness to half at the most.Overall though, for the price, I'm fairly happy with these bulbs. When you consider that these 5 bulbs cost 60$ (at the time of writing), while the TP link colored bulbs cost 50$ each, I can live with a few problems, but they are problems you should be aware of before purchasing.

I was skeptical. I am an idiot about smart home, smart bulbs. These bulbs provided instructions. I dreaded the process. . . but after putting it off as long as possible it turned out to be painless. It took no time and I am enjoying the ability to tell Alexa to turn my lights on and off. Sweeeeeeeeet ☺ see the photo with the light at 10%

Can anyone help with this ? ... I have an at&t dual band router (uverse). I downloaded the truya app (my phone is a Samsung Edge 7) like the instructions say .... but I can not get them to connect. The app keeps saying that I nees to ensure Im below 2.4 ghz (and the router is dual band 2.4 & 5 ghz). Ive tried the EZ mode and the AP mode but cant get them to connect. Does anyone have suggestions / advice ? ... Thanks in advance :)

Lights work great. Took a few times to get all 5 working but not too bad. Alexa can turn them on/ off and change the colors. The tuya app does some other cool things. I'll be buying another set

I love thess bulbs. They are easy to install and require no hub. The greatest thing is they are 10 times cheaper than their counterparts and are so compatible with all the features with Alexa.

These are awesome. No hub needed. Me: "Alexa, turn on the salon lights;" Alexa, "Okay" And the lights are on...

I would not buy these again. Everything worked fine for one day. On the 2nd day 2 would not work. I am returning.

Great for accent color,
