I’m taking a look at some budget Teckin £12/$13 LED RGB smart light bulbs from Amazon, that can be controlled via an app or more usefully with you voice together with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and even via a workaround with Apple’s Siri.
So you can say, “Alexa, turn on the lights”. And you can control the brightness level and the colour too, all with basic voice commands.
The Teckin SB50 smart bulbs connect to your home WiFi network so you don’t need any additional hubs, and once set up they can be controlled even when you are out and about, using your mobile phone’s data connection, which is a handy security feature if you’re going to be back late for example.
Together with the Smart Plugs I looked at in a recent video, you can easily configure a basic smart home, combining multiple devices into groups to control them all at once.
