Sengled Use Products, Compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, Homekit, Siri, Smart Hub, 1 Pack, White

A good simple smart home controller. Works well with Google Home.
I originally bought a Hubitat for my Sengled bulbs. I wanted to get those bulbs off my router. I found out these home routers will drop devices when they reach 60+. I was having a heck of a time with drops and I have a very good Ubiquity mesh network. All of the home routers will experience this issue when you hit 70 – 80 plus devices which happens very fast when you add up all those bulbs. I have gone through 5 other brands to learn this expensive lesson (every home router system seems to brag how they can manage 150 devices….NOPE). Anyway the Hubitat is nice but does not work well with Sengled bulbs. Even though they advertise as Zigbee. I could not get the bulbs to pair up with Google Home through Hubitat. They paired up to the Hubtiat controller just fine, but I wanted the Google Home to control them with voice. Anyway I ended up returning the Hubitat and getting the Sengled controller. Everything works and syncs up very well now. The devices are off my router and am experiencing less drops. I would like to see Sengled develop more devices. The function is not as sophisticated as the Hubitat, and it relies on a network connection. So if your internet goes down the information you program for various routines will not be executed locally. For what I need it works very well. I didn’t want so many bells and whistles. It has been dependable so far and works my routines well. If your looking for something to really sink your teeth into as far as detailed programming features you may want to consider something else.

Terrible Open/Close Sensors with Smarthings, lack of customer service from Sengled
Terrible Open/Close Sensors with Smarthings, Complete lack of customer service from SengledI recently purchased four boxes of these 2 pack Sengled Smart Window & Door Sensors. I paired them directly to my Smarthings Zigbee Hub with no issues and they worked flawlessly day 1. Day 2, all devices show as OFFLINE in Smarthings. The only way they come online is to open the window the sensors are installed on to “wake them”, however no ALERT is sent identifying the window is OPEN until the window is then CLOSED. This is a huge security flaw and the devices must be on all the time to alert me when a window or door opens initially, not when it’s shut after. I contacted Sengled support via their phone number. Well, they shut down their phone lines and are email only now. Email was sent a week ago and still no response. Follow up sent a few days ago and still awaiting first contact. Did confirm email address matches the one on their website and the phone line.Unsure if all of these 8 devices are bad (sounds implausible) or just terrible product design (more likely). Terrible customer service. Will be returning all of these and not dealing with Sengled ever again.Please note, I have dozens of other zigbee devices (like these) connected to the Smarthings hub for years with no issues. These are the first smarthome devices I’ve ever seen all go offline like this.

Very responsive but difficult set up
The sensors work great and I was eventually able to connect to my smartthings station. However you have to take to tab out only when you are actively searching for a new device on your hub.You may also need to buy new batteries for this sensor as one was completely dead and was giving me trouble connecting. Other than that it works fine.

this device will connect wirelessly into your SENGLED led lights and you would be able to control your lights when lying down in your bed, im lazy so i bought it@

Setting up the hub.

Since using this product I’ve noticed a reduction in the electricity used because: I personally use the lowest brightness often and they turn off at times they really don’t need to be on by setting up routines through the sengled home app.Sometimes one of the kids might leave a bulb on but with the routines you can set with these bulbs they turn themselves off during the morning and stay off until the evening. it’s making huge differences already.Installation was easy and I’d recommend using Ethernet so that the Internet has a good constant connection to the hub and the bulbs.The variable brightness is good and at maximum they are very bright, lowest setting they are still bright but also I’ve noticed I’ve not been awake so late in the evening due to all the brightness a normal bulb would produce.I’d recommend these for someone looking to try out smart bulbs to see what difference it could make to your life especially in a busy family household
