User Reviews

Reviewers praise color control and general value when the Cree bulbs work, but consistently report major drawbacks: privacy concerns due to location/Bluetooth permissions, frequent connectivity drops, confusing UI with small fonts and inconsistent screens, setup hurdles including cloud registration and scheduling gaps, and weak scene/automation features that require external hubs. Overall, reliability and user experience are the main pain points despite some positive notes about price and lighting quality.

Pros

Color control and lighting effects when the bulbs are connected.
App is easy to use / user-friendly when it works.
Good value / affordable price for the lighting.
When connected, fast pairing and reliable basic operation.

Cons

Mandatory location and Bluetooth permissions raise privacy concerns.
Bulbs frequently go offline or disconnect from Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, making control unreliable.
Poor UI/UX: confusing navigation, inconsistent screens, small fonts.
Setup friction: bulb resets/registration issues and scheduling/configuration gaps.
Scenes/automation are limited: cannot apply scenes to all lights or turn them off easily; relies on external hubs.

Recent reviews

Poor custom integrations, poor local integration, fails with tuya, no integration at all for Home Assistant.

The smart doorbell is a safety hazard! The camera feed never loads and when it does it takes forever to show. The when someone rings the doorbell it doesn't pop up as a notification anymore, and if it does, again, it's almost 30 if not 45 seconds behind meaning the person has left by the time you know they where even there.
