TALOYA Smart Ceiling Light Flush Mount LED WiFi,Compatible with Alexa Google Home,Dimmable Low Profile Ambient Light Fixture for Bedroom Living Room Hallway Kitchen Nursery,12 Inch,RGB

I had a similar, larger light in my music room that suddenly simply didn't want to work with the app anymore. I could delete it, re-add it to smartlife, and control it once or twice then it would be offline again. So time to replace it.This one had a decent price, and more importantly, didn't require some annoying little third party app that would only be used for this one item. I've got nearly 150 devices on my home network, and only get things that are compatible with Smartlife, Kasa, or VeSync.What made me even happier was that this one used the same mounting base the other one did, so I simply unscrewed that old one, disconnected the wires, connected them to this, and screwed it in. About 60 seconds of work.Smartlife saw it instantly, got it connected and renamed, and once again I have a reliable smart device I can voice control regularly.Gives enough light for the area, and I like the color bar on the top for when I just want indirect mood lighting.

Review of TALOYA Smart Ceiling Light Flush Mount LED WiFi,Compatible with Alexa Google Home,Dimmable Low Profile Ambient Light Fixture for Bedroom Living Room Hallway Kitchen Nursery,12 Inch,RGBI bought this to replace a standard ceiling light in my hallway/laundry area. I had a smart bulb in the previous light, but it was not consistently functional with either Alexa or Google. The light connected right away using the Smart Home app, and Alexa and Google found it right away. This light reportedly worked with both, and I soon found out that it did, so far flawlessly. I am not a handyman but can do minor things, and this was easy enough for me to install. I found the installation easy with the exception of holding the light fixture up while I attached the wires. It should be noted that I do not have anyone to help, so you might need assistance. The instructions are straightforward in connections. There are two wires (no ground), a black and a white wire. The included hardware I found to be sufficient. The pictures I provided are hard to tell, but 2 are during daylight and 2 during nighttime (respectively in the photos). Also, respectively in each set are off and 100% settings, and then 50% and 100%. I don’t use the different colored settings, but I like that they are available. I did not try the different colors so I cannot comment on them. It sets almost completely flush with the ceiling. Yours might fit more closely. My old metal box fixture was slightly loose, and I did not try to find a way to secure it better, so that might have been the reason. I am happy with the fit, nonetheless. The light is very bright, is LED, saves electricity, and was reasonably priced for the features included. I do not find it to be the most aesthetically pleasing, but it’s not bad.

I had a similar light to this which wasn't WiFi enabled. That light proved to be too bright for many purposes. It was on a 3-way switch, so adding a WiFi enabled switch was problematic, as I would have needed to add multiple WiFi enabled switches (at least, that is what I was told from one manufacturer). Enter this light for about the price of a single switch.This light has 2 "parts": a downward facing main light, and a ring of smaller LED's along the rim of the light. Note that only the ring of LED's is color changing. I did not find this clear from the descriptions. The main down light CAN change various shades of white (e.g., bright white or soft white), but is not all color changing. The rim lights are. This is fine with me, but it wasn't clear to me that was the case when I purchased it.You can do a lot from the app, but what is available via voice command is more limited. The biggest appears to be that you can't switch between the "white" downlight and the "color changing" rim lights by voice. You must use their app. I confirmed with with their customer service. Much of the time, I want the larger white downlight on. But at some times, it is nice to just use the colored rim lights, such as when I'm watching movies. I had set a Google routine ("Hey Google, Movie Mode"), which did things like dim various lights. It would have been nice to add switching this light to the colored rim light mode with this command, but that is currently not possible.There are other things which don't seem possible with voice command, but to me, this was the most glaring.So, a nice light with good features at a nice price. But beware that the main downlight isn't full color changing, and there are several features not available via voice command. For me, the main light not being full color changing isn't an issue. The lack of voice command features is, so I'll knock it down a star.
