This product worked well with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Siri Shortcuts, but it doesn’t support Apple HomeKit, SmartThings, or IFTTT.But we always prefer to use the highest form of security, whenever possible. When it comes to concerns about being hacked, smart bulbs are pretty low risk. Feit doesn’t offer two-factor authentication (2FA), a common security process that requires you to input a verification code when you log in to the app. Fortunately, with the range of dusk to dawn sensors available here UK Electrical Supplies, outdoor lighting is hassle-free. ![]() And, even more confusingly, if you want to schedule an animation, the only way for it to work is if the animation was the last setting used before the bulb was turned off-you can’t simply tell the animation to happen at any time when the bulb turns on. Instead, to do either of those things, you have to create an automation, which you access from the main screen, under Smart Scenes. However, you can’t simply choose on or off, and you can’t pick a specific color and/or dimming level. For instance, when you click on Schedule, you can choose times for a bulb to go on and off. The Feit app can be confusing, and it has odd roadblocks.We also paired lights with these platforms to trigger lights with other smart devices (such as security cameras). Everything we tested can pair with some type of voice assistant, such as Amazon Alexa, Google Home, or Siri, so you can operate it by voice. We also set up Schedules and tested any other features. ![]() We used iPhone and Android devices to look at the app controls, to see how easy it was to set up and control the lighting devices, when you’re at home as well as away. (For suggestions, check out our guide to Wi-Fi routers and our guide to Wi-Fi extenders.) If you have problems getting good Wi-Fi outdoors, consider upgrading your router or adding an extender or repeater. Since all of these products are designed to go outdoors, we tested a variety of spots outside of our home to determine how well they stayed connected to Wi-Fi. For bulbs, we used a light meter to measure lux (or the amount of light that spreads in a given area), working with the same equipment, under the same conditions, at various angles and dimming levels. We also compared Color Rendering Index (CRI) ratings, when available, to judge color accuracy. We looked at specs for lumens, which is a measure of light output. For our recommended bulbs, see 'related products'. J. Requires 1 x max 15W Edison screw bulb, sold separately. Keilton 120V AC Dusk to Dawn Photocell Light Sensor, Outdoor Hard-Wired Post Eye Light Control with Photoelectric Switch, Auto On/Off, ETL Listed, 1 Pack. ![]() Measuring just 218mm tall, 120mm wide and 147mm deep, the Lori compact and neat enough to grace even the smallest of frontages without overpowering - now that's what we call true star quality. It also incorporates a day/night sensor that turns it on when light levels fall at night and back off when the sun comes up in the morning, so you never have to struggle to unlock the door in the dark again (unless you forget to remove your paparazzi-disguise sunglasses). We think it looks smashing with a decorative filament bulb, such as the very warm squirrel cage show here. The clear glass panels scatter the bulb's light, creating a wonderfully soft glow to enhance your home (and, should you be caught at the door by the paparazzi, you'll be in your best light, too). Made from durable aluminium with an attractive, on-trend dark anthracite finish and a tough IP44 weatherproof rating, the sconce-style Lori is built to retain its handsome looks in spite of the elements. ![]()
