Starfish Smart Lighting

Hard to connect to

I have smart bulbs in my two beside lamps. Every time there is a power outage and then power is restored the bulbs turn on. So if the power goes out and is restored at 3am the beside lamps are on at 3am. Why is there not a feature to prevent this?

Love this app! But would like to see a feature added for automation that the hue app has. The issue: Scheduled triggers mean lights do not turn off/on based on ambient light outside. Feature Request: Please add localized “sunset” or “sunrise” support for scheduled triggers.

Siempre me lleva al día de todo lo que esta cerca de mi casa

I love being able to control my lights with an app. I don’t have to shut off lights when I leave the house, I can shut them off after I leave. I like being able to turn them on before entering the house. Completely satisfied with this product

This app is incredibly clunky and not user-friendly at all…Why do I have enter in my Wi-Fi password EVERY time I try to add a device to my home network? I should be able to enter the password one time and have the app smart enough to know that when I add a device to my HOME, that it’s the same network. Now, since upgrading our router, I can no longer connect any of the devices. The lights flash as they should, but the connection just times out without finding any devices at all. The bulbs are now entirely useless. Will be replacing everything.

Not really intuitive to use. Devices constantly disconnect when other IoT devices are stable. Devices come and go. It’s worse than Lightify and they killed Lightify. The app freezes constantly, controls and interface are from the 2010s. I can’t recommend unless you’re going small scale like 2-5 lights, any higher and it’ll give you grief. I went with 16, I don’t think the app can scale that high. Lights are all within line of sight of WiFi AP about 8-10ft away, and strictly running 2.4ghz. Turned off 5Ghz just to give the devices the best possible chance of working. I think I might have better results if I used a pre-802.11ac WiFi access point from before 2014. I don’t have one but if you do, that could be the solution to make their devices stable.

Compatibility with Alexa is behind other lighting systems.

I have several Starfish lights in several rooms of my house! They are great once you get them linked. The problem is linking them for the first time. You have to link your phone to the light bulb using the starfish software. It sometimes takes several tries to link everything properly. I will buy more, I just hope it gets easier to link them!!

Been using for about two months to control 50+ lights and plugs in three homes. Quite disappointed in the connectivity and reliability of the app.
