Cree Lighting BA19-08027OMF-12CE26-1C100 Connected 60W Equivalent Soft White (2700K) A19 Dimmable LED Light Bulb, Works with Alexa

Hasta ahora todo muy bien. Conectarlo a smart things tardo un poco pero hasta ahora excelente.

I had a few criteria for smart bulbs: compatible with Alexa, reliable connection, dimmable, and a relatively warm color temperature (not daylight!). These score top marks on all of these criteria, plus they were less than $5 each! I bought six.I decided to pair these bulbs with an Echo Plus instead of a stand-alone ZigBee hub. I have previously used Phillips Hue bulbs, which paired quickly and effortlessly to the Echo Plus. These Cree bulbs initially gave me some difficulty. I screwed them into their sockets and turned on the lights. The bulbs all lit up, and I said, "Alexa, discover devices." My Echo Plus did its discovery routine for 45 seconds, and came back with no new devices found. Hmmm.After some trial and error, I discovered that I needed to place my Echo Plus into discovery mode first with the bulbs OFF, and then turn each of the bulbs on one by one. Four of my six bulbs then gave a reassuring blink, and Alexa announced that the bulbs were discovered and successfully paired. The remaining two bulbs still wouldn't pair.Solution? Resetting the settings on these stubborn bulbs to factory defaults.The reset sequence looks like this: Off (2 sec) - On (1 sec) - Off (2 sec) - On (1 sec) - Off (2 sec) - On (1 sec) - Off (2 sec) - On (1 sec). For those of you keeping score at home, that's four on/off cycles. After the fourth cycle, the light will blink twice. Boom - reset.Once I reset the last two bulbs and paired them in the same manner (turn on once discovery is initiated), Alexa found them right away.All of the bulbs now work great! They are dimmable and easily controllable by voice, routines, and the Alexa App. Sure, these aren't as feature rich as the Phillips Hue lights (which I also love), but they are such a great value, that I can finally convert all of my lights to smart lights.

I installed this along with a Smart Things multi purpose sensor in our bedroom closet, so that the lights come on and off when you open/close the closet door. It works very well, and integration with Smart Things was very easy.

I have purchased over a dozen of these bulbs and almost all of them are starting to break. They were great for a while and worked wonderfully with my smarthome but these bulbs are not meant to last regardless of indoor, outdoor, dry, or humid (bathroom, kitchen).When the bulbs start to break, they will flicker randomly even when "off" so you'll get woken up in the middle of the night and your smarthome will have no record of turning on/off the bulbs since it's an issue with the bulbs themselves.I would NOT recommend these bulbs and I will be looking to replace the switches rather than the bulbs moving forward. These were worth it for while I had them, but LED bulbs need to last longer than 5 years at a minimum. 10-25 is supposed to be the expected life of the LEDs but the circuitry looks like it's failing before the LEDs do.

Very misleading and way over priced item.“Cree” led lights is a type of light that doesn’t attract bugs.This company has called themselves “Cree” to basically fool buyers into purchasing just a regular led bulb at an inflated price that does not perform like the above mentioned. Super annoyed and feel ripped off.
