    Most new houses have downlights rather than these sort of bulbs. Is there a similar solution?

    • WaKkO1 on 25/09/2019 - 06:41

      Agree I would have nowhere to use these types of bulbs

      • silverx on 25/09/2019 - 11:55

        Not everything will be downlight tho surely. Dining light? Stairs (chandelier usually use e14 tho). Fans light? Etc

    • silverx on 25/09/2019 - 06:47

      Is it gu10 connection? It's on sale for 34 dollars

      • kulprit on 25/09/2019 - 07:32

        I don't know, the house is still being built. Will look into it.

        • kulprit on 26/09/2019 - 09:20

          Asked the builder, our lights won't be gu10, just a whole downlight assembly that you replace should it go. Does Hue or similar offer something like this?

    • deelaroo on 25/09/2019 - 07:42

      Usually GU10 for new places.

    • misterchan on 25/09/2019 - 12:03

      I've got downlights throughout my house too but prefer the warm glow from lamps, so I have bought floor lamps for each room equipped with Hue bulbs. We mainly use these rather than the downlights now.

  • Hoju on 25/09/2019 - 06:05

    I’m seeing some conflicting information on here. Some people say you need the bridge others not.

    Can I buy the bulb on sale at $11, and the smart Switch for $29 and have a complete solution? I’m not bothered about controlling it with Alexa, just to have a wireless switch to control a light

    Also, I think it’s a shame Phillips haven’t yet got the trendy vintage style filament bulbs in their range, would be a hands down purchased for me if so

    • jazoom on 25/09/2019 - 06:20

      You need something that can speak ZigBee. It doesn't necessarily have to be these spy tools (e.g. Alexa). You can do something DIY and use Home Assistant with a ZigBee USB stick.

      • boretentsu on 25/09/2019 - 08:53

        Not for the feint of heart. You would definitely need to be comfortable tinkering with stuff on an ongoing basis. It's been 3 months and I'm still learning. And it doesn't really save you that much vs a bridge if you buy a Pi.

        The bonus of course is a) you get to host your own smart devices instead of a proprietary cloud and b) you get to mix and match your automations with any supported device (Xiaomi, Philips, IKEA etc) that is supported so you're not locked into one brand only.

    • trankillity on 25/09/2019 - 08:07

      The dimmer switch can be paired with the bulbs directly (and bought in a kit), but the tap switch on sale here requires the Bridge.

      Trust me, you want the bridge anyway. That's how the app controls everything and how automations work (like turning lights on/off when you arrive/leave home, adding motion sensors, creating routines, managing scenes). It's also one of the most cost-effective ways to get some colour bulbs.

    • AdrianW on 25/09/2019 - 11:41

      A single Hue bulb can be manually linked to a single Hue Dimmer switch which will control that globe without the need for a hub.

  • baskets2k on 25/09/2019 - 06:54

    Has anyone set up the gentle wake up and sleep with Philip Hue I.e. gradually dim or brighten the light on schedule.

    Bought Kogansmart light bulbs but I wasn't able to schedule the dimmer.

    • Kelvin H. on 25/09/2019 - 07:27

      Yes, you can set it as a routine.

      • baskets2k on 25/09/2019 - 09:16

        Nice. Thanks!

  • Xizor on 25/09/2019 - 06:54

    I've got half a dozen smart bulbs but not really sold on it all, the old light switch works just fine and often quicker imo.

    • zorrt on 25/09/2019 - 07:20
      +1

      Sounds like you're using them as regular dumb lights?

      The idea is to be able to automate them. Mine are triggered by ambient light sensors, when it's dark they'll turn on. Got a hallway light that only triggers when it's pitch black and turns off after a few minutes. Got a staircase light that triggers only when the door is opened/closed.

      • Xizor on 25/09/2019 - 07:54

        For the most case. Other than the odd scheduling or remote switch on. Motion sensor integration could be handy for hallway though looking to switch to diwnlights throughout so something to consider there.

        • trankillity on 25/09/2019 - 08:08
          +1

          Motion sensors are the key to automation. My house is riddled with them and I find it weird when I go to another house and the house doesn't automatically work for me.

          • SuperMrBlob on 25/09/2019 - 12:04

            @trankillity: Do you just use the Phillips Hue motion sensors? They seem a bit pricey!

            • trankillity on 27/09/2019 - 08:28

              @SuperMrBlob: I have some Hue motion sensors (always waited for a sale to get them), but mostly using Wyze sensors (via Home Assistant).

              The benefit of the Hue motion sensors is that as well as motion, they also detect natural light levels in the room and temperature - effectively making them 3 sensors in one. So if you use something like Home Assistant, you can use those sensors to trigger other automations.

        • zorrt on 25/09/2019 - 08:34
          +1

          Yea if you don't automate these things then it's really a waste of money since you can get brighter dumb lights for much less.

          Took me a bit to break out of the habit of turning off the stairway lights though, had to block off the light switch with some boxes.

          • Xizor on 25/09/2019 - 08:40

            @zorrt: Haha yeah point taken. I tried with the app and voice, but yes without sensors i just couldn't see the benefit 90% of the time and reverted to still using the light switch. A bigger home or differing layout probably influences this a lot though. I think i'll post a thread in the forums seeking advice from you seasoned pros as am gonna replace all the lighting soon.

          • silverx on 25/09/2019 - 11:59

            @zorrt: I have smart switch on top of old switch as reminder not to do that. After a few weeks you will get used to it. It feels weird now having to turn off lights the old way (flicking the switch)

  • RangaWal on 25/09/2019 - 07:08

    No motion sensors on sale?

  • pe arl on 25/09/2019 - 07:11

    If you have one bridge and several bulbs, can each family member control each bulb separately? i.e. each person controls their respective room's bulb with their own phone - is this possible?

    • zorrt on 25/09/2019 - 07:21

      Yes.

      • pe arl on 25/09/2019 - 07:51

        Thanks :)

  • Bjay on 25/09/2019 - 07:18

    Great price! Would there be a problem with wifi when you both have hue and lifx running at the same time? I already have some lifx bulbs that's why.

    • zorrt on 25/09/2019 - 07:22
      +1

      No. Hue is ZigBee. Only the hub needs to connect to wifi, unless youre already out of wifi allocation.

      • Bjay on 25/09/2019 - 07:23

        Good to know. Thanks

          Looks like we could get adaptors to convert these gu10 to mr16 but not sure if they are the same length?

          • cola2002 on 25/09/2019 - 10:37

            @chillipaste: Yea our current ones are all MR16, we’re looking to change all to GU10 fittings to utilise the smart lights.

            • aldroid on 25/09/2019 - 13:22

              @cola2002: I have Yeelight, LIFX, Philips HUE and Kogan (8 x GU10 spotlights) in my home. By far the most reliable have been the Kogan GU10's. I have not needed to reboot them once in the 3 months they have been in. All the others require occasional reboots. The Kogan lights are cheap (https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-smarterhome-ambient-rgbw-…) and they use the SmarterHome app which I believe is a rebrand of Tuya. I never use the app. I control them via Google Assistant and Alexa. Also, despite them being only 4.5W each they are brighter than the 50W LG halogens they replaced.

            • nightelves on 25/09/2019 - 16:02

              @cola2002: If you’re going to do that can you let me know the process as well. Would love to convert over to GU10 but not sure it’s worth the cost.

    Thanks OP

  • Bibliotek on 25/09/2019 - 07:56

    Sorry if these are noob questions:

    • If you were to buy either Alexa or Google Home, which would one choose? (price not an issue)

    • Does xiaomi hub work with Philips?

    • trankillity on 25/09/2019 - 08:16

      Google syncs with Google stuff, so if you have an Android or use Gmail/Google Calendar, it's a no-brainer to go with them. Their voice assistant is also much more useful than Alexa.

      Alexa is Amazon-owned and not nearly as useful, however it is quite a bit more open than Google.

    • deelaroo on 25/09/2019 - 10:16

      Amazon, way more and better "apps" (Skills). The home automation stuff is light years ahead of Googles offerings.

    • cola2002 on 25/09/2019 - 10:43
      +1

      I have both Google home and Alexa, I find google much more responsive, and more informative when asking questions about random things.
      I find more uses for google, it also talks to chrome cast if you have one, so convenient to ask it to play pause volume up/down and turn off TV. Not sure if Alexa can do the same, I eventually stopped using it.

      • [Deactivated] on 25/09/2019 - 09:07

        Unreliable connectivity, slight delays between actions even when bypassing the cloud. Sometimes the pairing just mysteriously dies and you need to repair.

        None of the above with wifi. I think ZigBee is only useful for low power devices like motion sensors.

    • YellowKnight on 25/09/2019 - 08:15

      Would need more information to back your claim.

    • bargainshooter on 25/09/2019 - 09:20

      Lol your opinion is contrary to every other review and experience. Try running 40 wifi bulbs in a multi user house and see how rock solid that is for you. Maybe you just got duds or didn't know what you were doing?

    • deelaroo on 25/09/2019 - 10:18

      My experience is complete opposite. Hue stuff via Zigbee is bulletproof, just integrates via the Zigbee hug. Any of the wifi stuff needs seperate apps, have to "link accounts" and rubbish doesn't just add/detect via the my Echos. The two LIFX bulbs I bought would just randomly power themselves on, not respond..

  • macfudge on 25/09/2019 - 08:10

      Keep an eye out on it, from prior sales if the price goes back up, they generally put it back down sometime later in the morning (possibly slowing down sales to be able to to advertise the sale better). Same thing happened with the Philips LED deal a while ago.
