FAQs

Do you need a smart plug for this to work?****

Definitely not….but a smart plug is easier to set up. You only have to say…… Alexa, discover devices. All these other bulbs which do not require a hub are a challenge to set up. But it’s doable and easier with a smart phone.

Can these be dimmed with a conventional dimmer as well? I want to use them in a spot with a hardwired dimmer switch.****

Sure, it has an intensity limiter. Through your app your reduce and increase the intensity.

How to share the bulb to my father?****

by using the google home app you can add family members to your account so he can use the app independently.

Does this work with the basic Ikea uplight lamp as well?****

If a regular light bulb will work, this will too.

Does it work with tuya app?****

Yes, All Avatar Controls smart item work with tuya app, Smart Life app, AvatarControls app.

Can I use these bulbs outdoors?****

I use one as my front door porch light. It’s outside but it’s covered by a patio, so it doesn’t get any rain.

Does the light cast shadows? Looking for a bulb for a cut-out pattern shade that’s meant to cast shadows. Most now are too diffuse/soft.****

These bulbs are very much like normal incandescent bulbs but not particularly bright. I don’t think that they are what you are looking for.

My Wi-Fi changes between 2.4G & 5G depending on signal strength. Will this cause issues?****

A year later but, if your router is set up properly it will broadcast 2.4g and 5g simultaneously and the device will connect to what it’s compatible with.

Has anyone found a way to ramp up the brightness with Alexa? I can only get them to click on to the brightness level I set but not come on slowly.****

I’ve told my google home to turn the brightness to 100%. That works for me.

Unable to control each light with the smartapp, but works when you group them. How do you control them individually? The firmware is updated.****

Sorry to hear your problem with these bulbs. It can be very frustrating, right. If you haven’t already, try re-installing them while standing right next to the bulb and your wireless router. I really hope that works.

My light is blinking every 7 seconds. What does this mean?****

Every 7 seconds is the slower set up option. If you want to try it with the fast blinking, turn the light off. Wait a few seconds. Turn on, off, on, off, on, off. Wait. It doesn’t immediately start blinking. It takes a little bit. Once it does, then begin trying to set up.

Do these work with the SmartThings Hub?****

Not directly. Must use a service like IFTT or similar.

Is it a cool white bulb?****

Yes. It’s very bright.

I want to control a set, how to do?****

my downloading it’s app first then you can link it to google home.

Has anyone else had their lights stop working after only 12 months?****

Try reset. Mine has 3 years and no problem.
