Amazon Alexa Enabled Smart LED Light Bulbs | Full Setup Demo and Troubleshooting

[@GadgetInspector]

👀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

What is the name of that lamp you use!!!!!!!!

[@simplyskullface]

your voice is so calming idk why

Don't even have smart bulbs, just like listening to your soothing and reassuring voice.🙂

[@IhateCCP]

I feel so much more relaxed when you are talking to the camera sideways. It's as if I'm seated on the couch too. Thanks.

[@GadgetInspector]

That's good feedback, thanks.

[@kekelove]

I’m listening to what you’re saying, your voice sounds so relaxed and calming yes🙌🏽❤️

[@GadgetInspector]

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.

[@JCTereck]

Great video! Helpful demonstration and a very soothing voice

Thanks Jack, glad you found it helpful.

Thanks this is really well explained big Thumbs up 👍

[@hannahhemmings8569]

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.

[@montymagic5886]

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 KZbin 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.

[@GadgetInspector]

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.

[@montymagic5886]

@@GadgetInspector Thank you sir.

[@montymagic5886]

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....

[@GadgetInspector]

@@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.

[@rayo1179]

Can you use the switch on the lamp you had like a wall switch to the plug

[@Viraltrenzzz]

Great vid Brutha 👍

[@GadgetInspector]

Thanks, appreciate you for watching.

[@O2CXC]

Do they use power if they switched off just using Alexa and not with switch

[@AntoinetteParry]

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.

[@Sweets___]

Thank you for bleeping out Alexa! Content creators have our Alexas going crazy.

[@GadgetInspector]

🤣 You got it. It happened to me a few times and knew I couldn't do it in my videos.

[@tigerpayphone]

I just can't seem to add a second bulb in the app for some reason. The first one worked out fine. Any thoughts?

[@eaccountus]

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.

[@GadgetInspector]

Unfortunately, the original bulbs I reviewed are no longer available. The ones linked utilize the same app, so I included those as an alternative.

[@katiecosta8571]

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

[@mackay259]

When you add bulbs to smartlife app did you have to choose a brand name i.e. Sengled to complete setup?

[@GadgetInspector]

I don't think so.

[@فيصل-غ9ه]

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 ?

[@jimmyestave4266]

I have a Vont smart bulb but can’t connect to Wi-Fi bc it’s looking for 2.4 and I have 5 gh

Looking out for you.

[@kane322]

How do you make it do the other paring mode where it blinks slowly?

[@purplepoodlecreations]

Turn your light on and off 3 times.

[@purplepoodlecreations]

We turned ours on and off 4 times and it worked. He shows in and says in this video 3 times. 🤔✌️🙂

[@empresshunt7280]

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.

[@zjffrancis6603]

I'm having trouble changing the color and brightness ... but I'm sure I'll figure it out.

Make sure to check out the troubleshooting segment of the video if you're having trouble with setup.

[@hawk1481]

Which smart life app do you get is a lot of them

[@eaccountus]

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.

[@GadgetInspector]

Yea they often rebrand these bulbs and change the links. Frustrates me as well.

[@JoeRuizLordoftheRings]

Does that app work with any type of led bulb?

[@mackay259]

Is there a reason you didnt add the bulbs directly through the Alexa App via the add devive button or use Alexa DISCOVERY MODE?

[@GadgetInspector]

🤷🏾‍♂️

[@quincydmares8782]

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😤

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

[@GadgetInspector]

They usually have their own apps so you don't need Alexa.

[@Askjerry]

I have a KZbin 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!

The bulbs are stand alone. No smart plug needed.

[@domenicdidomenico2338]

Should I use smart bulbs or smart plugs? Thanks!

[@stephencooper3583]

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.

[@lamomify]

Ok probably dumb question but do you need your lamp plugged into a special plug?

[@GadgetInspector]

Nope.

[@loraine018]

Can you setup music of all the bulbs altogether with alexa? like a disco light for all bulbs at the same time?

[@GadgetInspector]

I haven’t tried that, not sure. I may have to try it.

[@loraine018]

@@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 ☺️

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.

[@glensmallwood5031]

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?

[@GadgetInspector]

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.
