This bulb has some issues but, I’m relatively happy with it. The bulb runs on the WiFi and can be easily adjusted using the Kasa app on your smartphone. The bulb is bright and will light up a room easily. It’s wonderful to be able to adjust the color and light level from the comfort of your phone, no matter where you are.
Of course, not every smart light is without issue. Often times the app will not find or connect to the bulb, during the entire time I have had it, and sometimes the bulb will randomly change to another color. I use the bulb for multiple hours every day and so far it hasn’t gone out.
The only issue I’ve had is after installing this light I bought another strip, and now the app will sometimes get stuck specifically with the strip. Actually only with the strip, so it doesn’t affect my score for this light as it’s been great. And it will change color scene then get stuck. I read a review about Alexa resetting settings after turning off the light but I have yet to fortunately come across said issue. I can turn off the lights, unplug them, whatever it may be and afterwards plugging them back in or turning on switch will still work with Alexa. It’ll take about a second or two for the light to pick up Wi-Fi (as with any device) before the echo can change color or light brightness but it’s been perfect.
All in all, I will continuously buy KASA light or device when I need one. I have a gaming light connected to their plug in and along with Alexa created a group with it, the KASA color strip, and a hue light to create a room and it all works together seamlessly. Their app is quick. The price has been cheap and the lights are very bright that I stopped buying Hue color lights. Can’t recommend enough.
Highly recommended!
BUT we had some power blinkage during a storm and all the bulbs got reset.... apparently if you turn the power on-off 3 times in a row, they reset. We now have to set them all up again one by one, delete the old file, rename everything, etc. Not sure if other bulbs are like this, but it's something i've been procrastinating on resetting over again and I wish there was a way to prevent this accidental resetting.
What I think is missing, is a wake feature. What I was hoping for was a sunlight simulation. It's possible to set multiple schedules with gradually increasing brightness to simulate this yourself - however, the app makes that pretty cumbersome to achieve. There's no way to group those alarms into one alarm that you can just turn on and off so when there's a holiday, you're going to have to deactivate all of those schedules. Also, the schedule uses the "quick set" buttons to set the color and brightness of the schedule, so you have to first alter the quick set button, then make the schedule. It doesn't sound like much, but it's pretty annoying.
Also, I'm a Google Home user. I don't have, or use Alexa so I can't speak to how this works with Alexa. However, with Google Home saying "Hey Google, turn on my bedroom light" works along with something like "Hey Google, turn my Bedroom Orange". Also, saying "Hey Google, turn off my bedroom light" also works. However, saying "Hey google turn on/off my bedroom light in 5 minutes" results in the old familiar "my apologies, I don't understand".
*edit 7-10-2020*
While you still can't "schedule" on and off with google voice (saying 'hey google, turn my bedroom light on/off in 10 minutes" gets treated the same as saying 'hey google, turn my bedroom light on/off". However, they added a "Fade" feature to the bulb. This means it's now possible to set an "alarm" that simulates a sunrise or sunset by gradually increasing or decreasing the brightness of the bulb. You can set the 'ramp' time for up to 1 hour. I personally use it every weekday as an alarm clock. I hate being woken with noise, and the gently increasing brightness always wakes me up without making me annoyed.
Edit 1/3/2021
Google added the 'turn my light on/off in x minutes" which is super useful. It also knows which room you are in so unless you say "all of the lights" (assuming you have multiple nest speakers in rooms) it knows which speaker your taking to and only affects those lights.for instance, if I'm in my bedroom I can now say "hey google, turn the lights off in 5 minutes, and my bedroom lights will turn off in 5 minutes but my Living room lights will stay on. Otherwise, I can say "hey google turn on all of the lights" and my house is immediately lit up like a Christmas tree.

Overall, I would recommend the TP-Link Tapo Smart Wi-Fi Light Bulbs, 16M Colors RGBW, to anyone looking to add smart lighting to their home.
No cuento con Alexa así que no podría dar una opinión sobre si funcionan bien o no con ese aparato, lo que si es que con la app de Tapo son muy fáciles de usar, puedes ponerle las opciones de colores que te da, o personalizarlos, también tiene una función para programar el encendido y apagado de los focos y puedes apagarlos y prenderlos desde la app.
Lo único que no me gusto tanto es que no son tan brillantes como esperaba, en habitaciones amplias no iluminan tan bien que digamos, pero por lo que cuestan, es bastante esperado.
1. Easy Setup and Connectivity: Setting up the TP-Link Tapo Smart Bulb is a breeze. It connects seamlessly to your home WiFi network, allowing you to control the bulb remotely from your smartphone or compatible smart home devices. The user-friendly Tapo app makes the setup process straightforward and provides intuitive control options.
2. Smart Lighting Features: The smart bulb offers a range of features to enhance your lighting experience. You can adjust the brightness and color temperature of the bulb to suit your preferences or create specific moods for different occasions. With scheduling capabilities, you can automate the bulb to turn on or off at specific times, adding convenience and energy efficiency to your daily routine.
3. Voice Control and Compatibility: The TP-Link Tapo Smart Bulb is compatible with popular voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. This enables you to control the bulb using voice commands, offering a hands-free and effortless lighting control experience. Integration with other smart home ecosystems and devices further expands its functionality and versatility.
4. Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings: LED technology ensures that the Tapo Smart Bulb is energy-efficient and has a long lifespan. It consumes significantly less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs, resulting in cost savings on your electricity bill while being environmentally friendly.
Overall, the TP-Link Tapo Smart Bulb provides a user-friendly and feature-rich smart lighting solution. Its easy setup, convenient control options, and compatibility with voice assistants make it a versatile addition to any smart home ecosystem. With energy-efficient LED technology, it not only enhances your lighting experience but also helps you save on energy costs.
Please note that this review is based on the provided information, and personal experiences with the product may vary.
Please note before buying,
The TP-Link Kasa app and the Tapo app are two different applications developed by TP-Link for controlling their respective smart home devices. Here's a comparison of the two:
1. Device Compatibility: The Kasa app is designed for managing TP-Link smart home devices such as smart plugs, smart switches, and smart bulbs. It supports a wider range of TP-Link devices compared to the Tapo app, which is specifically tailored for Tapo series devices like smart bulbs, smart plugs, and security cameras.
2. User Interface and Features: Both apps offer user-friendly interfaces with intuitive controls. The Kasa app provides a more extensive range of features and customization options due to its compatibility with various TP-Link devices. It includes advanced settings, energy monitoring, scene creation, and scheduling capabilities. On the other hand, the Tapo app focuses on simplicity and ease of use, offering essential controls for Tapo devices, including scheduling, remote access, and motion detection settings for cameras.
3. Integration and Ecosystem: The Kasa app has broader integration capabilities, supporting popular voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. It can also integrate with other smart home ecosystems like Amazon Echo and Google Home, providing seamless control and automation. The Tapo app, while limited in terms of third-party integrations, still offers voice control compatibility with Amazon Alexa for Tapo devices.
4. Target Audience and Device Focus: The Kasa app caters to a wider range of TP-Link smart home devices, making it suitable for users with a diverse set of devices within their smart home ecosystem. The Tapo app, on the other hand, is specifically designed for users who primarily own Tapo series devices, providing a more focused and streamlined experience for those particular products.
Ultimately, the choice between the Kasa app and the Tapo app depends on the TP-Link devices you own and your specific needs. If you have a mix of TP-Link smart home devices, the Kasa app may offer a more comprehensive control and customization experience. However, if you primarily use Tapo series devices, the Tapo app provides a dedicated and simplified interface tailored specifically for those products.
