We have two brands(apps) that we use in our home. Feit, of course, and the other rhymes with ring. I have to admit that the pictures we receive from the Feit devices are as clear if not better then the others. It’s a true observation when I read other reviews that pointed out the limited features. Keep in mind though a lightbulb that is watching over my vehicles only cost 40 dollars. It does have all the features I need to rest peacefully, two way talk, night vision , zoom, local storage of pictures and/or video, push notifications, works with Alexa, and more. All I had to do was screw a lightbulb in and set it up in the app. I’m a carpenter by trade and I’m capable of tearing out the old and putting in the new, but why? When all you have to do is screw in a bulb. We do have the flood light out back and it does great. It’s not over sensitive and every raindrop or bug set it off. Not that anything is wrong with the other brand, I’m just impressed how I was able to save money and didn’t ...

We just received the smart plugs from Costco, which I ordered online versus store based on helpful user reviews. I was impressed by the ease of setting up and installing, but am a little surprised and a bit bummed that it only supports a 2.4GHz network. This is plain as day right on the packaging I didn’t read the fine print prior to purchasing. The issue is that we have is that (for our home network) the location of the plug results in pretty poor signal strength on the required 2.4GHz network and won’t connect to our mesh network which I set up and prefer to use. The app requires that the device be on the same network as the unit, and you must be on that network before launching app (similar to Sonos devices) So a bit frustrating that this will require to change network each time before launching app in order to use. All that aside, we were up and running quickly, app interface easy to understand and straight forward. Also quickly set up daily schedule (automation) and tested the tim...

Really like the bulbs...they work as advertised. I am using the App on an iPhone 11 Pro before this an XS Pro. The controls icons at the bottom of the App are stacked on top of each other or overplayed making them difficult to read and use. They are usable but annoying. This occurred on both versions of my Iphone. It does work so that's what is important. One of the features I really enjoy is to set timers for my lights. I can change the burn times or turn them on or off from anywhere where I am connected to the internet. Also the bulbs are very efficient using very little wattage. I would recommend these smart bulbs but confused and vexed about how long the App has been messed up. My very first version of the App was perfect then it got bad then worse. The latest update seems to be a little better. If it wasn't for the graphic icon controls on the App overlaying on each other I would give them 5 stars. It's annoying but still functional so I am just accepting this "as is" for now. I e...

The Good: The packaging of the hardware. The Bad: I purchased the dual outlet outdoor smart plugs with the intention to set them up for my holiday lights and decorations. I have plenty of experience setting up WiFi outlets of many different brands. The software does NOT connect properly even following the instructions exactly. Then if you attempt to troubleshoot you find typos and English errors in the text which is immediately disconcerting. Then when you read the privacy policy... The Ugly: Your face after you read the privacy policy. Here is a DIRECT QUOTE: “Feit Electric collects general and non-public personal information.” What is “non-public personal information” you ask? Well, allow me to elaborate what it discloses in their own policy. “Non-public personal information may include WITHOUT LIMITATION: name; address; phone number; email address; credit card number; account information; VOTING BEHAVIOR; SPENDING PATTERNS; and individual tastes and preferences.” Oh and it doesn’t e...

I am impressed with its ease of use and setup of a new device. It’s fairly basic but currently has enough flexibility in the scenes and automation feature to be useful. One issue that I did observe at least a few times is the automation feature did not respond as programmed. I had setup a delay off when an outlet was turned on. Several times, it did not execute the turnoff action after a predetermined delay when the smart outlet was turned on. Had to manually turn it off. This is and has been intermittent. Hope a future update may resolve it. Still, I would stick with FEIT because I have little confidence in many of the competing products which have higher end features and capabilities in terms of quality design and production. I would trust FEIT products to have a lessor probability of a dramatic flame up and catch my house on fire.
