These work Perfect - Few Cons for Many Pros
Use Smart Life service for google assistant setup.I have been using many smart lights in my house. I have some expensive Phillips Hue lights but didn't want ot psend anouth $150 to setup a new office I have in my house.These lights work perfect. For the price- they aren't EXTREMELY bright but they do the job perfectly to light a room. I have two in my office and they work fine.They didn't come with directions on setting up google assistant but simply using the app and common sense - i didn't have an issue. People complaining about this just simply don't have technical know how and this is based on their ability rather than the ability of the product.My only complaint, which doesn't even cal;l for a .1 reduction in stars, is the lack of ease when using the efamily app but that isn't a big deal for most people. I can post a video review if you would like but these things are great. I would suggest for anyone!

For the money, it works
These bulbs are cheap but they function just how I want them to.**TIP** Use the "Smart Home" APP to set them up if you have android, this will allow them to work with Google Home! Apparently the eFamilyCloud app these use is just a clone of Smart Home, and I was able to add both of my bulbs and make them work in Google Home successfully.Knocked off a star since there really is no good option for a soft white, you either get very blue white or a very dim yellowish looking soft light. Otherwise, for the cheapest possible RGB wifi bulbs I could find, they work great.

Fun, Not as Bright as I hoped
These were very easy to set up and to connect and control through Alexa.I used the eFamilyCloud app (icon is white with a rainbow) for those who are wondering what you use to set it up. I set them up on a 2.4GHz wifi band, which is common for smart home products. They aren't as bright as I hoped, but they do their job. It isn't like they're really dim. I enjoy the variety of colors. I have not had success with the "Schedule" option for changing the colors based on Sunset and Sunrise, HOWEVER, it may be because I have them plugged into a smart wifi outlet that is off during the day when I'm at work. So if the light bulbs were on all day it might work, but I haven't had the chance to test that out.Other than that it was easy to set up and the colors are fun. I really like how the app has a button that says "White" which brings it to a normal light bulb color so you don't need to figure out the proper color on the color wheel.

These are great bulbs for the price I paid
As long as they last I am totally happy with these. When I bought them I didn't even know about the music interaction. Only wish it could use an Echo device instead of my phone for the microphone. They aren't as bright as other bulbs I have at the same wattage but it isn't a large drop-off. They were easy to integrate with my system as most of my lights are either Tuya based or Element so I already had the app on my phone and everything setup on Alexa, just had to connect them to WiFi , name them, and add them to whatever groups I wanted them to be controlled with, so less than 10 minutes out of the box to full integration with my system.

good for price
good for what its worth. not the best, but good for if you just want the basics. the music integration isn't the best since you have to keep the app open for it to recognize music. it doesn't completely sync to music the way I was hoping for it to, but the Alexa integration is amazing and pretty good for the price you pay. I usually use dimmer colors, but the brightness is alright but could better.

Great alternative to Phillips hue
These are half the cost of Phillips hue. I use them with Amazon echo. Seems to work pretty well for the most part. Once in a while they come out of whack and you have to re-pair, But that’s only happened once since I’ve had them. Tons of colors and different white options, including the ability to change brightness and vibrancy

No Hub Needed! Works with Alexa voice commands.
No additional hardware/hub needed for these. Just a smartphone or tablet and your WiFi connection. These were very easy to set up using the eFamilyCloud app found in the Apple App Store for iOS. Also easy to voice control through Alexa, I use Amazon Echo Dot's.Set them up on a 2.4GHz wifi band, which I believe is common for most smart home products. A bit on the dim side as far as lightning is concerned but they do a good job of light the area.Like I said, easy to set up, and the variety of colors are a nice addition. I like how the app has a button that says "White" which brings it to a normal white light bulb. Definitely going to buy more of these!

Do not buy unless you have 2.4ghz wifi or amazon alexa
These lights are extremely trash first of all you need a 2.4ghz connection for this to work which means that if you dont have that you cant connect these also if you have a google home or home mini like I do then good luck figurines out how to connect these due to the fact that they ONLY give you instructions on how to connect it with an Amazon Alexa. So dont buy these if one you dont have a 2.4ghz connection and two if you dont have a amazon alexa unless you want to figure how to connect these yourself. I would give -40000 star for how bad these are but I guess i can only give a 1
