DAYBETTER Smart Light Bulbs,Alexa Light Bulb,WiFi Color Changing Light Bulb

These work great with Alexa but don’t download the DayBetter app. Didn’t work with my iPhone. Then I saw the barcode on the outside of the box that said to scan here for the app. Turns out to be the Tuya app and works perfectly

I decided to go big on having Alexa help me turn my lights off and on all over the house. I have several multi-bulb lights so I needed a lot of bulbs that could be added and controlled at once. I installed 24 of them all over the house through the Tuya app (QR code in the instructions) which seamlessly connected with Alexa. Now I can turn off all those lights my grandkids leave on without having to follow them all over the house. I have had no issues with any of the bulbs getting and staying connected. They've been installed for several months now with no problems.

I've had these lights since march and I will say that they worked perfectly with my alexa setup. But in the past month or so when I say "Dining room off" off it will only turn off a few of the lights in the group of 5. I have to say the command several times for the others to start turning off. And sometimes they wont. I purchased some Govee's to replace these at twice the cost but I feel that they are so much higher in quality and reliability.

These were really great bulbs! The setup takes a little invested time, but once done runs smoothly! Every color was really bright and vivid, and you never felt like any of the colors weren't quality! The only gripes have to do with connectivity! Sometimes, if your Wi-Fi isn't top tier, the lights won't react to Alexa/ the app. I had to get creative and restart the app, or reset Alexa, etc. But even this only happened once in a while for me and it was typically easy to control them via the apps! My BIGGEST GRIPE is that if you decide to use the switches rather than voice control/apps for whatever reason (e.g late night with a baby and I am not close enough to whisper to Alexa nor do I have my phone.) then the lights will sometimes completely reset! This is because to set them up you have to turn them on then off rapidly in a given time span so sometimes they reset after turning them off then on (the switches have to be on at all times to use with the app/Alexa). If the company made them able to be switch activated for when times are tough and we're without Wi-Fi, I wouldn't have a single complaint. Besides this, they're everything you could want in a smart light!

It is really easy to love these bulbs initially, hence how they seem to have good reviews. People usually rate immediately after trying an item. These are very affordable smart bulbs. They are versatile, and the app works great. The huge, totally negating problem is that they randomly reset with some frequency, and that frequency increases the longer you have them. Again: hence the seemingly good reviews. It takes weeks and months for it to start happening frequently, so initially, they seem great. Read the bad reviews, however, and you'll see this is a common (I suspect ultimately a universal) problem. Why is the reset so bad? Because it's very time consuming to individually relink the bulbs to the app and then arrange the bulbs in groups. I have 8 bulbs in my bathroom alone, so that takes quite a while. Worse, when they reset, they don't default to just being on; they flash. They will continue to flash until you attend to them. So if you have company, for instance, and the bulbs reset in your bathroom, living room, etc, you can't just wait until later to attend to it: you have to drop everything and individually reset them and regroup them...and hopefully none in your family or among your guests have epilepsy! Edited 9/21/23 to add: I truly despise these lights from the depths of my soul. I can't underscore or emphasize enough the level of hatred I have for these bulbs. As of tonight, they won't even reconnect. I tried teinstalling the app. Didn't help. I tried unscrewing the lights for an hour and trying again. Still didn't work. They are now officially useless, flashing lights. I am glad I live in the rural area so nobody heard all of the cursing. Please don't buy if you want value for your money, but especially if you have a low frustration tolerance lol.

Works

The bulbs were easy to install and I really like the colors!

Love it just wish more than one person could control them. My fiance was stuck with blue lights in the house for a weekend i was away....twas kinda funny actually lol but he didnt think so. Super easy to set up. Could be brighter but its not too dim. You can do any color you can think of on the digital scale. Decently easy to control but i dont think you can change multiple bulbs color at the same time.... so we end up with mismatched shades.
