We have two brands(apps) that we use in our home. Feit, of course, and the other rhymes with ring. I have to admit that the pictures we receive from the Feit devices are as clear if not better then the others. It’s a true observation when I read other reviews that pointed out the limited features. Keep in mind though a lightbulb that is watching over my vehicles only cost 40 dollars. It does have all the features I need to rest peacefully, two way talk, night vision , zoom, local storage of pictures and/or video, push notifications, works with Alexa, and more. All I had to do was screw a lightbulb in and set it up in the app. I’m a carpenter by trade and I’m capable of tearing out the old and putting in the new, but why? When all you have to do is screw in a bulb. We do have the flood light out back and it does great. It’s not over sensitive and every raindrop or bug set it off. Not that anything is wrong with the other brand, I’m just impressed how I was able to save money and didn’t have to sacrifice any performance limiting features. Thanks a breath of fresh air.

I’ve only had one switch stop working the dumber switch, but there are some issues with staying connected, especially with the plugs. I just don’t have range but if you have a good Wi-Fi router, I’ve never had a problem with the lights going out all worked and I have over 100 lights, the color ones are the cheapest possible you can find on the planet especially if you buy through Costco when they have a sale. A negative that needs changing is the std icon goes grey if the device is off. Then is has in WHITE LETTERING “OFFLINE” or “OFF” inside the light gra!!!! That’s just horrible graphics. it does so you could take a picture and substitute it you can put at least two schedules a day to repeat or just a timer to turn items off. There’s offline notification so those features rock especially for the price you can’t beat it. a bit of a hassle to get dimmer switches to work. I frequently have to go to the slow flashing mode. honestly only about half the time I can use them because there’s not enough wires to give it what it needs for a three-way connection these days with great rooms large open spaces you’re going to have at least a pair of three switches if not 3-5 of them controlling a large area. so that is a shortcoming of the hardware.

We just received the smart plugs from Costco, which I ordered online versus store based on helpful user reviews. I was impressed by the ease of setting up and installing, but am a little surprised and a bit bummed that it only supports a 2.4GHz network. This is plain as day right on the packaging I didn’t read the fine print prior to purchasing. The issue is that we have is that (for our home network) the location of the plug results in pretty poor signal strength on the required 2.4GHz network and won’t connect to our mesh network which I set up and prefer to use. The app requires that the device be on the same network as the unit, and you must be on that network before launching app (similar to Sonos devices) So a bit frustrating that this will require to change network each time before launching app in order to use. All that aside, we were up and running quickly, app interface easy to understand and straight forward. Also quickly set up daily schedule (automation) and tested the timer function. All works fine. Only gripe again is that only supports limited network bandwidth, would be much happier with this product if it supported more. Not sure if a keeper and definitely will not expand to other devices such as bulbs/others if also handcuffed to bad 2.4GHz limitation.

Really like the bulbs...they work as advertised. I am using the App on an iPhone 11 Pro before this an XS Pro. The controls icons at the bottom of the App are stacked on top of each other or overplayed making them difficult to read and use. They are usable but annoying. This occurred on both versions of my Iphone. It does work so that's what is important. One of the features I really enjoy is to set timers for my lights. I can change the burn times or turn them on or off from anywhere where I am connected to the internet. Also the bulbs are very efficient using very little wattage. I would recommend these smart bulbs but confused and vexed about how long the App has been messed up. My very first version of the App was perfect then it got bad then worse. The latest update seems to be a little better. If it wasn't for the graphic icon controls on the App overlaying on each other I would give them 5 stars. It's annoying but still functional so I am just accepting this "as is" for now. I erased the App a while back and reinstalled it. That was a pain as I have 10 lights which all had to be reconnected one at a time and the App display was the same. In conclusion, I do like the lights and think they are a good product.
