Review summary

Users report that while the app can control smart lights when connected, it frequently fails to pair with devices via Bluetooth. There is no support for Google Home or Alexa integration, and the interface lacks guidance, making it confusing. Several bugs cause instability, such as lights turning on by themselves and features breaking after updates. Despite these issues, some basic features like effects and scenes exist but suffer from glitches.

Pros

Allows control of smart lights when connected
Has basic functionality for controlling lights
Offers effects and scenes features (though problematic)

Cons

App frequently fails to connect or pair with lights over Bluetooth
No integration or linking with Google Home or Alexa voice services
App interface is unintuitive with lack of instructions or guides
Frequent bugs and glitches including spontaneous turning on of lights and issues after updates
Limited functionality in setting brightness within scenes, requiring manual changes

2025-09-03	Pa*****	I bought the light online, based on Walmart's displays and information. I do not have access to the APP features that I bought it for. The instructions that came in the box, are insufficient and there is NOTHING that I can find that tells me how to troubleshoot the app, to get to the features. Nothing on Walmart's website and I can't even find a website for Xecessory, the manufacturer.

2024-06-29	RΛ*****	The interface is not intuitive at all, no instructions or guide as to what all the options are for. The lights NEVER connect, making it them impossible to operate and useless. 2 flood lights are now going to the dumpster, avoid this at all costs.
