👀The bulbs reviewed in this video are no longer available but I found some that use the same exact app. So the setup you see in this video should still apply. These only come in a 2-pack. Find them here: amzn.to/3nZDE3g
Thank you, I keep hearing that. Makes me think I need to do something with my voice. A podcast or some affirmation videos or something lol, I don't know.
I'll let you know. I've been trying to get my lights working for several hours to no avail. Something is very wrong. They went out during a storm two years ago and I haven't been about to set them up since.
I followed your video on how to set up a bulb, i successfully succeeded with that but i have a fault, i set it up through the phone but on the amazon alexa its not working only through the phone app, Can you please help.
Let me just say this first I love watching your channel I'm looking forward to getting a new drone I got a old syma drone no altitude hold no GPS no return to home none of the things the newer drones do I am looking into buying the dji mini mavic or maybe a drone that has at least forward facing obstacle avoidance I haven't taken flight in quite a while
Your support is greatly appreciated. I'm a big fan of the Mavic Mini. Sensors are nice, but as long as you make sure you're in a wide open space you should be fine.
This is confusing because if they are Alexa enabled, why can’t they be set up in the Alexa app? I’m trying to wrap my head around setting up a few smart lights around my house.
Have just subscribed and very impressed. Thanks for sharing. My wife, who is very ill, has just received an Alexa Echo dot for Christmas. Ability to turn on a few lights using Alexa would be a Godsend. I eagerly await an order for some Smart bulbs for our bedroom Fanlight. I’ve been scouring CZcams for tutorials on installation of Smart bulbs. My main question is do I have to download a native app or can I just plug them in and set up using Alexa App? I think you have answered my question. Err ….like your ‘Night Time’ like voice. Many thanks.
Well hello there John, glad you found the video and it was of some usefulness. Yep, you will need to download the native app because you'll need to link that account/skill to the Amazon Alexa app. Once you've done that though, you won't even need to open the Smart Life app again, you can just control it with your voice or from the Alexa app. Hope this makes things easier on the Misses.
Really pushing my luck here in asking for your response to another issue. I have now set up( all thanks to you) 3 smart lamps and a smart plug that drives a table lamp. Also 2 groups for said lamps. It works perfectly if I ask Alexa to turn them on/off, however if my wife asks Alexa, it doesn't work! Any other commands that she gives to Alexa, do work. We are both using our own Amazon accounts. I set up the lamps on just my Alexa App. Should I set them up on her Alexa App too? Any ideas GI or, indeed, anybody else? Sorry to be a pain....
@@montymagic5886 Try having her add a voice profile in her app (I’m assuming she has the app on her phone and you on yours) (if not, log out on your phone and sign back in. That will allow you to add her as a user). Next, go to settings, account settings, recognized voices, and create a voice profile. Hope that does it.
Ok, you started with a 6 pack of bulbs but I could not catch the name? You said name only once and too fast. Then you provided a link for a 2 pack on Amazon? .so what is the 6 pack product name and maybe a link? Thank you.
I have a CZcams channel... I make tutorial videos... your's was so well done that I'm just going to forward it to everyone that needs help and I'm going to add this one to my technology playlist. Outstanding job! Thanks!
@@GadgetInspector Please, if it works, I will buy a smart speaker / alexa. Coz currently, I don’t find much use for it so I just use the smart life app and Siri for controls instead. But if alexa will sync all bulbs into music mode and works together, I will buy one ☺️
Hi i have question i bought some sylvannia bulbs and they didnt work so i am returning them. I looked for the onforu bulbs and amazon doesnt carry them anymore can u recommend another brand? Great video too by the way!
Hi Mr. Gadget. Quick question on a video you did some time back on the Tello Drone. I am looking to Purchase one with the GameSir T1d Controller it is sold with the Drone. According to your video the Tello should stay away from Blue tooth signals. Doesn't this controller work by Bluetooth?
I have found that bluetooth causes the video to skip/drop frames. Not sure if that's just with certain devices, but generally, when I turn it off my video turns out waaayyy smoother.
On full ……….? Full moon, full room, what are you saying? What is the name of the 6 pack, can’t find online. Your example is using the unknown 6 pack but your link is for different Amazon 2 pack by a different name. Very frustrating.
It seems my internet is 2.4 and phone is 5 G. it's been driving crazy all day, I never knew my phone was 5G. So I've been fighting a war all day and am still not connected.

Thanks Tony. Same to you and yours my friend.
I just can't seem to add a second bulb in the app for some reason. The first one worked out fine. Any thoughts?
Thank you! Great help!
My pleasure, glad it was useful.
great video very informative
Glad you enjoyed it
I'm having trouble changing the color and brightness ... but I'm sure I'll figure it out.
Cant wait to see if this works/ i was trying to use the cync app with no luck
Hope it works for you!
How do you make it do the other paring mode where it blinks slowly?
Turn your light on and off 3 times.
We turned ours on and off 4 times and it worked. He shows in and says in this video 3 times. 🤔✌️🙂
Wonderful video
Thank you! Cheers!
Great vid Brutha 👍
Thanks, appreciate you for watching.
Thank you

Can you use the switch on the lamp you had like a wall switch to the plug
This is confusing because if they are Alexa enabled, why can’t they be set up in the Alexa app?

I use Cync cyn ge lights and no matter what I’m doing they will not fully sync to Alexa they are connected but something isn’t right
Do they use power if they switched off just using Alexa and not with switch
Great video, I cannot get Alexa to accept any commands, it says Unresponsive check your network connections, I see the devices in Alexa, any ideas?
Can U help me i just bought one but it never start blinking I switched it on and off several times and nothing happens why ?
is the Gateway necessary to set it up please?
This has helped me so much, thank you!
Glad to hear! You’re welcome!
Does that app work with any type of led bulb?
please help me ive tried everything and its just not connecting
Ok, you started with a 6 pack of bulbs but I could not catch the name? You said name only once and too fast. Then you provided a link for a 2 pack on Amazon? .so what is the 6 pack product name and maybe a link? Thank you.
Unfortunately, the original bulbs I reviewed are no longer available. The ones linked utilize the same app, so I included those as an alternative.
I really need your help. Do you have a video on Feit Electric Smart Bulbs 2 pack?
Sorry, I don't.
@@GadgetInspector could you make on about it?
Is there a reason you didnt add the bulbs directly through the Alexa App via the add devive button or use Alexa DISCOVERY MODE?
🤷🏾♂️
I have a CZcams channel... I make tutorial videos... your's was so well done that I'm just going to forward it to everyone that needs help and I'm going to add this one to my technology playlist. Outstanding job! Thanks!
That's awesome, I really appreciate that. Much respect.
@@GadgetInspector You earned it man!
HELP MINE KEEPS TURING ON MY ITSELF.. OUTSIDE ONE MagicLight Smart Light Bulb, A19/E26
Sorry, never heard of that one
When you add bulbs to smartlife app did you have to choose a brand name i.e. Sengled to complete setup?
I don't think so.
Make sure to check out the troubleshooting segment of the video if you're having trouble with setup.
Can you setup music of all the bulbs altogether with alexa? like a disco light for all bulbs at the same time?
I haven’t tried that, not sure. I may have to try it.
@@GadgetInspector Please, if it works, I will buy a smart speaker / alexa. Coz currently, I don’t find much use for it so I just use the smart life app and Siri for controls instead. But if alexa will sync all bulbs into music mode and works together, I will buy one ☺️
Should I use smart bulbs or smart plugs? Thanks!
Plugs can only turn on/off. They are fine if that's all you want to do.
But if you want colors, dimming, and other features go with bulbs.
@Gadget Inspector do you need a smart plug as well or can you just purchase the smart bulbs? Thank you.
The bulbs are stand alone. No smart plug needed.
Thank you for your super quick reply as well as the video.
New sub!
Hi i have question i bought some sylvannia bulbs and they didnt work so i am returning them. I looked for the onforu bulbs and amazon doesnt carry them anymore can u recommend another brand? Great video too by the way!
Try these: amzn.to/3wQVw3I. They use the same Smart Life app.
Do I need an Alexa app device or can I just buy a smart light bulb and just use my phone to turn it on & off
They usually have their own apps so you don't need Alexa.
Ok probably dumb question but do you need your lamp plugged into a special plug?
Nope.
Can you put it on a ceiling fan light?
Just did a video on smart LED ceiling bulbs: czcams.com/video/A9PTydoROcQ/video.html

Yea they often rebrand these bulbs and change the links. Frustrates me as well.
Could you use the bulbs say in you porch light
Yep
My bulbs all blink when they’re out on the same color, do you know a solution to that?
Guinean pig drain
Could you connect it to a ceiling lamp
Yep

Where can I find that lamp or a similar lamp to yours?
Here you go, it’s out on Amazon: amzn.to/3mCnwUO

Hehe I’m the 101 comment 😂
Mine is not connecting

Did you watch the troublshooting portion of the video? It may be something I mentioned.
I gasped when you touched the bottom part of the light bulb. You're not supposed to touch the silver part you screw into the lamp😤
Whoops...still going strong💪🏾
how about showing people how to rename bulbs rather than it just pop up?
