If I could give these a zero, I would.
THESE LIGHTS HAVE TO BE RESET/RE-ADDED EVERY TIME YOU USE THEM.
I install smart devices professionally and spent 3 days working on this using every network config possible.
DO NOT BUY THESE!!

Okay so apparently the newer boxes come with a hub/gateway which seems to have fixed the connectivity issues.
So here is my two month review:
The good:
1. The lights can be VERY bright and the colors are quite good.
2. Like other brands, they are easy to install.
3. The remote control is nice.
The bad:;
1. The app interface is terrible. It's missing a lot of important functionality, not user friendly and there are zero instructions.
2. You cannot change colors or turn these lights on or off with third party apps like Alexa or Home Assistant. There is no way to access 90% of the features with these home hub apps, including on/off.
3. The user interface is horrible and not intuitive in any way. There are no instructions on how to programmatically change to specific colors using scenes or automation.
At least they are not losing connectivity anymore… but due to the significant app control issues I still cannot recommend these lights.
