Time for app updates, dark mode support and please can we have widgets - so that I simply turn my lights on and off more simply… than trying to setup shortcuts or whatever overly complex process you have going on here. Love your product range though, really good quality.

I just would suggest a switch off for when a set amount allocated units of electricity has been used.

The on/off scheduling is not working! Will change my review as soon as my settings are working.

This light works great except where we stay in Sourh Africa the power goes on and off A LOT and if the light was off and the power returns the light turns on when it’s not supposed to. Please add another option to the ‘power on behaviour’ that if the light is off when the power goes out then it stays in that state when power returns

Been using the app for about 3 months. The initial set-up was not as intuitive as I assumed it would be, so stick to the instructions for now. Using the app directly seems to work as it should 99.9% of the time, but when using it through iOS’ Home Kit, Shortcuts, and linking shortcuts to a double and triple back tap, it does not always work. It only works for about 20-50% of the time when not using anything other than this app solely. Don't know whether the problem is the app itself or how it works via those other home kit-related apps. Initial setup can be more intuitive and user friendly and integration with Homekit and related shortcuts should be improved to make switching or controlling devices/equipment on/off more accessible, without having to open the app. Oh and one last thing, for now at least, make it so that the light’s relay status can be switched on or of. Especially with the load-shedding going on, I don't want the light to come on when load-shedding has ended in the middle of the night, while im asleep. Give us the option to set the relay status, like you do with the wifi plug.

On a thread before ripping these lights out of my house and uninstalling this cancer from my phone

Add support for HomeKit

Really dissatisfied with this app and the hardware that uses it. No app updates or firmware updates. More than a year ago I was told there would be support for pet feeder on Alexa coming. Still nothing. Really disappointed since the pet feeder works really. Not even a firmware update for anything.

It’s an amazing light, but after I got a new WiFi network I can’t re-connect to the light

Great product (lightbulbs), and I am planning to buy plenty more once the following things have been developed inside the app. Setting of a specific color within color mode in automations and setting of a specific scene within scene mode on automations. Currently you can only do this manually, and when these modes are selected in an automation, the lights default to white when the automation is run Setting of multiple lights on music sync mode. At the moment you can set the mode to music sync manually or through automations. But when the automation is run the light defaults to white, when selecting music sync manually light by light, only the last one stays on music sync mode. Gripping of lights could be better, I figured out that you can group lights only by adding a ‘tap-to-run’ to within an automation on multiple lights. But it would be nice to be able to group lights that then appear in your list of lights. That way you can switch a group of lights on and off with a tap. Currently it can only be done through an automation, and of course through Siri Shortcuts which is a nice addition to the app. The above would definitely result in my rating moving up to five star. I am also refraining from buying additional bulbs until these items are possible in someway, else I will probably be trying other products first
