Alexa - light on!
Ok Aexa - light off!
Ok I have a new smart LED bulb
It's the first smart bulb I've ever had and it works with
Alexa and with an app that you can use on your phone
or other device I'm going to remove the lamp shade now
so you can get a better look at the bulb.
(laughter) ok Ok, I'm going to take the bulb out and give
you a better look at it and it is cool to the touch i'ts been running
for a little while most bulbs get hot right away - that's interesting
So, just to give you a better idea of what the bulb looks like
All of the smart bulbs I've seem have a similar look
Alexa, turn the light to red Alexa ok
Alexa turn the light to white Alexa
ok alexa, turn the light to warm white
ok alexa,turn light to cool white
ok Alexa decrease light
ok Alexa light off!
Ok, let me show you the app on the phone it's called ewelink what is it....ewelink
touch this area and you can control the color
you can make it bright or dim um there's a timer I haven't tried that
that should be fun to try anyway, there it is you can make the light
lighter or darker just by sliding the bar
and you can change the color from cool to warm
now um I downloaded the i....the wait...it's the ewelink
app and the bulb includes a little brochure - a little instruction pamphlet that give
you all that information y ou can download it for free
on google play or at the app store you can also scan a QR code
if you prefer after that there is a setup process and it prompts you through the steps
it is very easy to follow I'm not going to try to go over here
now I say it's easy to follow, but like with anything dealing
with software, computers and hi-tech you can run into some problems
One thing you should be aware of if that the setup process only works with 2.4 ghz wi fi
so if you have a 5 ghz connection, as I do it's not going to work unless you switch down
to the 2.4 and then, of course, you can switch right back afterwards
I recommend being patient when setting up these smart devices - this or any of the smart
devices because if you run into a problem, there usually is a fix and it's only obvious
once you know what it is, but not when you are dealing with it
Alexa, turn the light to red ok
I like playing around with the smart devices and Alexa
changing the colors is fun now these smart bulbs are great security features
you can turn the lights on and off remotely and so I've been able to
use my phone and Alexa upstairs to turn the light on and off and I tried it outside the
house with my phone and it worked.
So that is a great security feature - if you hear a noise in the middle of the night, just
turn the light on or turn the light on before you go in
I'm looking forward to getting more smart home devices
So, Alexa turn the light off Thanks for watching
ok
