HappyLighting-Life with smart 4+

So this app is pretty good for what it is. I enjoy using it when I can’t find my remote. However, there are some flaws with it that I haven’t really seen in the comments. I bought these lights for myself and my brother. Our rooms are right next to each others. And while in theory it’s nice that you can see both sets of lights on one app, in one place, it’s also quite annoying. It automatically connects you to both systems. If I had these lights just for myself I’d be thrilled. But when I’m trying to turn on the light in my room and my brothers lights are going haywire- not so fun. It gets even more frustrating when I’m just minding my business and suddenly my room turns green because my brother is still connected to the wrong set. I think there should be a way to forget a set of lights from a device. Or at least make you choose what you want to be connected to every time you open the app. Also, the music feature is pretty bland. I don’t mind it, I just think you need to include a speed bar like there is in the microphone section, so the extreme sensitivity doesn’t give anyone seizures. Lastly, it wouldn’t hurt to have some more features instead of the normal fades and flashing. But that’s probably a big ask for a more future product. This app is good, it works well, I just hope the developers continue to improve it.

Purchased these at Marshall’s with a name brand of Simply TECH. Looked nice on the box. They are usb plug in with a controller before light strip with a Simply TECH sticker with wiring info and a model number. HOWEVER, the controller is manufactured by Happy Lighting. I have had a few of these Happy Lighting controllers and not a single one has worked for more than 3 months. This controller must be the cheapest they make as the style lighting is TERRIBLE and you can not change any settings as you can on more LED light strips of today. The music setting would be nice except it will read the titles and artist info but will NOT play a single song from my play list or from Apple Music. The light strip is actually a nice quality with water proof covered LED lights. They are soft and flexible but will probably become brittle if mounted outside. Not an issue if you don’t move them later. The adhesive on the back of the strip states it is genuine 3M 300 LSE tape so I’ll expect the strip lights to adhere well to the item I choose to install them on. So a great LED lighting strip with an extremely TERRIBLE usb phone user interface made by Happy Lighting. For $6 the LED light strip of 15’ is okay price. I’ll have to purchase another controller that is reliable and can be programmed beyond the horrible built in non programmable style settings. Simply TECH please find another controller manufacturer with a better software and hardware for your LED strip.

I like the lights very much but I had some issues with the app. The app settings aren’t very specific. For example when you ask for help it only gives you two options to choose from. The tape section of the app was very confusing. It says tape so you would think it records and saves the sound you tape. Like the other reviews mentioned the music feature doesn’t really work. You are only allowed to play music you have purchased from the Apple store, not any music you have downloaded on your phone. Plus on my app it didn’t have dream mode like the instructions said. The instructions just show you what the features are, not how to use them. Plus I think the app should also come with virtual instructions for the remote. The instructions on the app could be way more specific. The product is good enough for what you want it for but the extra features the app claims to have don’t work. Other than those problems the app is ok. It would be awesome if the creator could find a way to fix these:)
