I stayed up until 4:30 am trying to figure out how to work this new lightbulb with my new Echo Dot 3. First, you have to ignore the directions that came with the bulb. They were useless and misleading and one of the reasons I’ve been up half the night. No, you do not need a pricey Hue hub. You don’t need the google playstore or the Apple store to download an app. You don’t need to select “Hue” from the Alexa Skills menu and you don’t need to sign up for a Hue account.All you do is set up your Echo Dot if not already done. You should probably wait while it connects to your other devices. Then screw in the lightbulb and turn on the lamp/light fixture. At this point, Alexa should say new light found, but it didn’t. I had to say “Alexa discover devices” Alexa named the device “First Light” Then I was able to say turn on first light, turn off first light, dim first light. There is a video on this page that tells you the exact same thing. This is the video to follow. I just wish there had been directions with this lightbulb that said how to hook it up with an Alexa device and I hadn’t wasted hours of my time.

Muy cómodo usarlo con Alexa, es dimeable, lo único que no me gustó fue el color de la luz.. es cálida (amarilla) parece de taquería de banqueta

Update: Downgrading from 2 stars to 1. Ordered replacements. Got everything connected and thought everything was good; was willing to chalk it up to bad luck with defective bulbs. Two weeks later, same problem. Suddenly stopped responding to the google home mini. I disconnected and reset everything (as the troubleshoot guides suggested) and now they can’t even be found again. Exactly the same as before except this time it took one extra week for them to stop working. Even if I can get the reconnect, I refuse to keeping going though this on a regular basis just to use.Original Review: Huge waste of money. Way too difficult to set up and then even after finally getting them set up, they stopped responding to my Google Home Mini after about a week. Disconnected them to try and reset, now they won’t connect again. Probably going to send them back. Way more trouble than they’re worth.That being said, the week they worked was pretty cool. Nice and bright at full blast but also dimmable; though the dimmest setting could be a a bit dimmer still in my opinion. I liked being able to control it with my voice and set the “gentle wake” mode that slowly increased the brightness in the morning before my alarm. If only they had worked for more than a week.

The only thing I have to complain about the whole phillips hue line is how expensive they are. We are slowly transitioning our whole house to smart lights and these are my go to. Sadly I can only afford to buy a couple every month or so. So far I keep buying more so that should tell you something.

I like the Hue the system, but the bulb I received was clearly not new. The bulb I received was used before, there are small scratches all over it, stuff like oil residue from hands and dust from being in a lamp that you can feel. My older Hue lightbulbs are in better condition.

I have 2 for my outside garage, one for my porch and one for my living room. All 4 are paired with Alexa. I don’t understand why reviews state they can’t pair. Make sure you have 3rd generation and let your echo discover it. Make sure you understand Alexa app…that’s all you need….NO HUB!I have them set on routines to go on and off everyday. Works perfect.
