Feit Electric Software

If you're hoping to drift off to a dimming Moroccan sunset and waking up to Northern Lights, this is not the app for you. But if you just want to turn the lights on and off with your Google device and change the color to suit your mood, you'll probably be more than satisfied. The set up was pretty simple, even for a grandma like me. I've only been using the bulb for a few days, but have had no complaints so far. As another reviewer said, I wish I could set the bulbs to be red-orange in the evening and blue-white in the morning, but the color can't be set ahead of time. You can set it to come on at a certain time but the color will be whatever it was when it went off. If there are no issues in another month or so, I may get another bulb so I can set one for the morning and one for the evening.

So setting up is a little weird but not too hard if you can read. Also, who’s idea was it to have the default for “unconnected to wifi” be repetitive flashing lights? Yeah you can make them flash slowly (once every 3 seconds) but that’s still super awful and i wish there was another way to do that, just saiyan. Um your app fails to “read” what the light is doing while maintaining full control. after opening properly and testing every thing out it works great! But if I return to the home screen (leave the app running in the background) the display will show me the previously set settings and it will also show me moving the color/brightness switch. It will not record the new position of the color/brightness switch BUT the new position is displayed with the lights and stays there. However the screen displays the incorrect value (previous color/brightness). Problem is fixed after app restart. I hope I have described the problem well enough to understand. TL;DR: app necessary for lightbulb function therefore 5/5. App has minor bug where UI displays old inputs; does not effect overall function of the lightbulb but makes app clunky and harder to use, needing frequent restarts.

Overall, the app is great. The integration with Alexa, Google Assistant and IFTTT is awesome. The app works well and connecting devices is a breeze. I would only change two things. First, it can be difficult to edit the light bulbs without turning them on and off. I think you have to long press the transition to the settings menu, but every time I try to get there I end up turning the lights on and off 3 or 4 times before I am able to get the the edit menu. Second, I would love to be able to trigger an effect with the schedule/automation features. It seems like the effects are the only thing I can’t integrate. Besides that I love the LED bulbs and the app so far.
