I have been considering some form of 'smart' lighting for a while. Phillips Hue is the top tier, but I spent time investigating cheaper alternatives before deciding to take the plunge - all in with the Hue. It has been well worth it! It took a bit to figure out the bulb naming schemes, but once I had the Bridge installed and the bulbs named, connection with my Google Home was a breeze, and now the lights are integrated with my daily routines. Wowing friends with fun colors is always a plus. Middle of the night bathroom visits no longer involve getting blinded. I wake up more naturally with the "sunrise" routine - versus a jarring alarm. I've barely scratched the surface as to all the things these lights can do, and am looking forward to seeing what else they have in store. I am sold, and I highly recommend them!
