Smart Lighting

Latest review: Easy to install. HUE ap for control is expansive with many features to customize your experience. Creating your “rooms” & then linking your phone is as simple as placing your phone close to the plug in control. Only slight hiccup was a couple units adhesive backing came off some when peeling the backing off - but an easy exchange to fix. Linking to Google Home for voice activation is simple, Lighting Is dramatic and has impressed all who have seen it.

Latest review: Attached to Hue light strip for a book case side light. Looks great

Latest review: I have a set of Hue lights for my bedroom and wanted the convenience of a wall switch. These were easy to set up and work every time

Latest review: This was a gift to my son. He excitedly installed them and was quickly disappointed in how long it takes to connect to the bluetooth. He stated that it sounded good but not great. Returned

Latest review: I replaced an old flood light with this. Very happy and I can leave the light switch on and just forget about it. It does not come on during the day only at night and only once movement is detected. I had a problem with this turning all of my lights on at night once triggered (even my bedroom lights). I deleted it from my singled hub and so far, no unexpected lights coming on in the middle of the night. If not for this glitch I would have given this 5 stars.

Latest review: Was difficult at first to pair with google at first.

Latest review: Contains the helpful little extension adapter to connect two strips. The extension adapter is very useful but pretty short. When I emailed GE about getting a longer adapter I was told they don't come in longer versions and also can't be sold separately.In lieu of purchasing approx 20 more of these (not for the lights but for the extension adapter contained within) I bought a 100ft spool of 22 gauge wire and some connectors (same wire as Arduino stuff), and extended the extender about 3ft to span my over-range microwave.If spanning gaps such as an over-range microwave were easier I'd definitely have given it 5 stars.

Latest review: Adds such a nice light to my kitchen. Love them!

Latest review: The light is great once you get it installed, but installation is a challenge! They only provide one wire anchor to bring wires in and out of the light, and it is much smaller than the standard small sized 3/8" one you typically use around the house. The small size they use (1/4"?) is not available at lowes, so I ended up having to buy a special grinder bit to open up the side hole to allow a 3/8" anchor to fit, to carry wires to the nearby fixture. Then I used the supplied anchor to bring in wires from the back hole. The EZ snap wire connector they supplied only had room for two other wires, so I had to cut those off and buy another connector because I had two sets of wires coming in from behind and then one more going out the side to the next fixture. The they use the tiniest of screws to hold the cover in place, I'm glad I didn't lose them in all this.

Latest review: Easy to set up and the bulbs look great. I have them all over the house

Latest review: Purchased to replace my kitchen switch - together with the main switch, this add-on gets the job done. Using with a Samsung SmartThings hub and Google assistant integration.

Latest review: These lights r great took a lil time to plan it out on the wall before we stuck them up . Make sure u use a level to double check as u place ur design

Latest review: These are great. Sold out of motion lights at Lowe’s. These are better.

Latest review: InstallationThe installation of the light is finicky and made worse by two things: you are probably working over your head while standing on a ladder and the instructions are terrible. I know all products say to read the instructions first, but this is a case where you do want to do this because you need to find all the problems with the order of the instructions and plan out what you will do to avoid having to undo your work once you realize you forgot to do something that should have been done three steps before or you followed the instructions which are out of order. Plus GE didn’t help matters by already having the mounting plate screwed backwards into the light and this must be sorted first, preferably before you are up on the ladder needing to remove those very long screws.The problems are that you must get the wires through both the mounting plate AND the gasket before you begin to connect the ground or the mounting plate. Forgetting the gasket means undoing everything.The screws that hold the light to the mounting plate are very long and you are blind if you are attaching the light overhead since the light will cover the screws and you have to keep moving it until you finally seat it correctly.SettingsThe light does have lots of settings. I wanted a light that would start turning on with motion starting at dusk and that was simple enough to arrange using the switches on the back of the light's sensor. Or you could set it to be always on or to turn on with motion during the day or during the night. You can also change the duration of the light turning on due to motion. Changing the settings requires getting back up on a ladder.EffectivenessThe lights are bright and I like that the light is more diffuse than the spot light which was replaced. The spot light focused its narrow beam in specific places, leaving other areas dark. I also like the idea of being able to pair the sconce fixture with other GE lights, but I have not tried this yet. I have mine in my carport and I plan to get another GE light for the back of the house so that they all turn on at once should some go around back to use the back door.OverallFinicky to install and the directions don’t help as they are out of order. I am overall pleased with the light so far.

Latest review: These were the better looking smart light switches I've been able to come across. But even though I ordered the brown interface, it still came with the white pre-installed and I didn't get the same shade of brown. The other one was basically black.The installation went fine because I have electrical skills.The switch turns on lights a little too slowly which is a bit annoying at times when you just want the lights to turn on. They do turn off quickly though.

Latest review: I have two types of Z-wave switches in my house. This GE and the Leviton Decora. It's tough to decide which I like better. They both paired up fine, they both have status lights to show the switch is in stand by (I'm not a big fan of blue LEDs, never have been, so the win goes to the Decora with the green LED). What makes the GE 46201 compelling is the SimpleWire is easy and it has a smaller body but there is a slight delay when you press the paddle (although no delay when using my Home Assistant app). The Leviton has no delay but cost more and has a bigger body so it was hard to get them into the boxes.

Latest review: Seeing the mixed reviews, but wanting an LED dimmer with a small size (to better fit electrical box), I took a chance and bought one of these.It was a complex install with a four way setup, so I also used two add-on switches. After some extensive work mapping out the wiring using spare wire and a circuit tester, I got it hooked up and it worked great. Full dimming and on/off control from all three locations, plus Smartthings/Google integration for voice control and automation.After a couple of weeks I bought two more dimmers, and installed each in a simple one way switch location, and both worked great as well.Fast forward a few weeks and one of the switches has now begun flickering at all brightness levels. It doesn't happen all the time, but it happens frequently.Frankly, after I installed my first complex, multi-switch one and it worked like a charm, I mentally discounted the reviews that included flickering as being edge cases or installation problems, but my flickering switch a) was a dead-simple install with a single switch, and b) worked without flickering for weeks and then spontaneously started flickering.My other two switches (single switch and three switch) continue to work without the flicker, but I am now concerned they'll also develop it later.Sad to see this kind of shoddy engineering and quality control from the once-great GE.

Latest review: The 462xx version of these are great. The reduced size makes a huge difference installation. The illuminated toggle is also very useful, especially for outdoor lights.

Latest review: Never had an issue with the GE switch or outlet products. Works as described. Love the new and improved version where you don't have to figure out line vs load; compact size; and the nightlite in the switch( that you can change to lit when on, lit when off, or never lit. I did have a hiccup in trying to change it with the upupupdown of the switch but easily changed it in the app. Works great and one feature that I found new too is you can set the dimming function for leds to stop and start high and low (if your led gets that flicker when you lower it, etc.) BE SURE YOU HAVE A WHITE NEUTRAL WIRE, othewise this will NOT work. I purchased the toggle to keep with the style of my home but I tell friends it's oldschool on the outside but 2020 on the inside. The only way to tell is that the toggle is always straight, not in a up or down position. You can of course dim or turn on manually too. Seamless integration with Alexa. I use Smart Things Hub.

Latest review: i put it on my back door

Latest review: I think I have like 20 various GE Z-Wave switches in my home. I've only had one fail so far, and that was after killing power to the breaker to install a second switch in the box.I really wish there was a way to upgrade the firmware on these. Since many of mine are ~2 years old now, they're running on firmware without instant status reporting.

Latest review: Was super easy and quick to set up with my Google home

Latest review: I bought a couple of Tap+Dim light switches. The instructions are vague and too simplistic. With these light switches, you DO need to have a neutral wire, but they state that the neutral wire will be white. When I attempted to install the first switch, I was convinced that I didn't have a neutral wire in my switch box, but after lots of hunting on the web, I was able to figure things out. The switch eventually got installed. Once I got things sorted out, it only took about 20 minutes to complete the job. Instructions for use are non-existent- you can go to their website for answers, but they have no users manual available, only a FAQ page. Once you get things figured out, the unit works well.

Latest review: I am thoroughly enjoying this lightbulb. It was easy to set up and easy to use the app to have it do whatever I want. It is a great addition to my bedroom and I am so happy with my purchase.

Latest review: I bought these since I have been very pleased with all my geeni products. I opened all the boxes, I also purchased 2 extension kits, followed the horrible instructions and now I have cut led lights where they can be cut, but no connectors came with them to actually connect the strip to the flex connectors. If you’re not cutting, then the one strip will work fine, but if you’re connecting more strips, nope don’t buy them!!!!

Latest review: Was super easy and quick to set up with my Google home

Latest review: There are lots of smart bulbs out there - some use hubs, some are white but I have not seen a lot of clear smart bulbs. I wanted something that I could use with my existing Geeni app. I was so glad to see these that work with Geeni and Alexa. They look and work great and set up was easy!

Latest review: So I bought the kit plus 2 of these extension kits. The instructions are a postcard and not very well put together (Im attaching the instructions). Ive looked online for a tutorial that would explain throughly so I didn’t ruin them, nope nothing found. I even emailed the company, whose reply was solder or get electrical tape and wrap it. So Genni customer service is absolutely unhelpful and do not care. Please do not waste your money on these, find a brand that will back up and offer quality help to their products. The Genni website offers zero support on the led strips as well.

Latest review: this item came up on Deal of the Day @ BB. i purchased similar non-branded for more than twice as much. after i picked up the bulbs, installed them in my bathrooms, great lighting, and a great value

Latest review: I am beginning to like LiFX products better than Phillips HUE. You do not need a bridge to operate these lights! You can control them from anywhere. My disclaimer is I do NOT know if HUE can do the same thing without setting up another account and another password ad nausuem.Biggest selling point is........IF YOU LOSE POWER THE LIGHTS WILL STAY OFF UNLIKE HUE WHICH WILL TURN ON AND WAKE UP THE HOUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

Latest review: Such good lightbulbs that lights up the whole room. Definitely am buying more of this brand if I need too again!

Latest review: I really like them. Once you get them set up they work great. I’m waiting for the day the prices come down though. I’m not old they are worth the price tag.

Latest review: I was sick of gloominess. I had two 800 lumens installed. Replaced them with this pair of bulbs and room is brightened more than twice seemingly. Highly recommend it to anyone. Some missing smartness like controlling the brightness and using through Alexa would just make them my favorite
