VOCOlincSmart Light Bulb Works with Apple Homekit, Alexa, Google Home, Dimmable WiFi Smart Bulbs, 850 Lumens, E26 LED Smart Bulb 60 Watt Equivalent, A21, 2200K-7000K RGBW, 9.5W, 1 Pack

UPDATE April 20, 2025After I finally contacted VOCOlinc support via email, they worked with me to get my L4 bulbs working properly. The latest firmware was causing the issue, and VOCOlinc guided me to restore the previous firmware for the bulbs. The old firmware works correctly with Apple Home/HomeKit automations and scenes as well as Siri voice control. I again recommend VOCOlinc smart L4 bulbs. (P.S. VOCOlinc has not asked me to change my review, I felt this review update was necessary.)[Original review] I have almost a dozen Vocolinc L3 bulbs with zero issues ever for several years. They work great, respond well, never disconnect from Apple Home... but these new L4 bulbs with adaptive lighting is absolutely a headache. L4 lights will only turn on with a cool white and 100% brightness EVERY SINGLE TIME regardless of telling the bulbs to not use adaptive lighting when setting them up and making sure that setting is off. I often have to cycle the power to get them back responding. I do have them set to use last color and brightness, but all my automations and asking Siri to turn them on will only give me bright white after they are off more than one hour. I hope there's a firmware update in the next couple weeks or they all get returned.

I’m a big fan of these bulbs! I have 8 of them now. I am also a big fan of Philips Hue and mostly have their bulbs in my home, but these are an amazing alternative and are actually superior it terms of brightness and at a lower price. I only buy smart home equipment that is compatible with both Apple Home/HomeKit and Alexa. I also find that most Alexa enabled devices also play well with Google which is nice. I have some kind of Echo in almost every room, which makes it easy to control my smart home devices via voice commands. On the other hand, devices have to go through stringent security hoops to be certified by Apple (which makes me feel a bit more at ease) and I feel like the Apple platform is superior for creating automations/routines. There are also a multitude of iOS apps to help you get the most out of your smart home, including ones that actually backup your smart home setup. I’ve labored over my smart home setup for hours upon hours so it’s nice to know I have backups...for the Apple side of things. To my knowledge, Amazon does not yet offer a backup option for your smart home settings. This was recently very very very painful when I inadvertently deleted all of my smart home devices and settings on the Amazon side of things and had to start over from scratch. Amazon, please fix this or let me know if I’m missing something. Anyway, on the other hand, Apple’s HomePods are quite expensive compared to Amazon’s variety of Echo devices and I don’t always care to retrieve my phone from my pocket or from another room to control my smart home gear. Going with equipment that can be used on both platforms literally gives me the best of both worlds, offers the most flexibility, and security, and these bulbs are part of that equation at a very reasonable price.

The media could not be loaded. Best product for value wifi bulb. Also works smoothly with HomeKit! Great brightness and color options.Purchased 2 of these back in September just to try out a smart bulb. I liked the idea of not having to connect to an extra hub device. So wifi and HomeKit compatible were a must. Connecting to HomeKit was smooth and just worked. Siri commands are logical and work accurate to what you ask for. Brightness is a lot better than similar priced bulbs and the colors are amazing. I typically like desaturated warm tones for the evening and the bulbs can do exactly that. Every now and then I may have a connection problem and will have to physically turn the switch on and off. But it is very minor and far in between.I liked them so much that i bought 2 more.Waiting for more advanced HomeKit smart bulbs to come out, but for now, these do the trick!

I was a bit hesitant about getting such a "cheap" HomeKit bulb but now I'm glad I did. they seamlessly added to my HomeKit without issue. the manufacturer's app wasn't even needed. pretty awesome. the color options really appear to be true RGB with unlimited hue adjustment as well as brightness settings from 0% to 100%. if someone turns the light switch off they come back on exactly to the last used settings. with all of that said there are 2 things I don't like. the first is the dimming isn't smooth. they do hit the accurate color or brightness setting but its sort of choppy. be aware this isn't a deal breaker for me. the other thing I find odd (maybe all RGB bulbs do this?) when going from one color to another it can cycle through a third color for a second or so. again, this isn't a deal breaker for me. just an oddity.
