Worked well for a few months then all the lights one by one started blinking off then back on every second or two. I spent about 30 minutes and finally got one to pair to the app on my new phone All my bulbs are like this. Idk if this is their attempt to force me to buy new bulbs but this just makes me not want to buy this brand ever again. I don't understand why you would design it to blink when disconnected from network instead of just steady.
Reviews for WiZ Connected
lights used to work, never had issue, suddenly my internet can connect to everything the way it used except the lights can't connect. My $2000 gaming PC connects and plays everything just fine. This app? KNOWS there's and issue, has a button that offers help, click the button: "Help Center being added in next update?" no suggestions on how to fix this.
Don't waste your money on this junk. Spend a little more and buy GE, Philips, Linkind, or even Google, literally any other brand. From day one, these builbs have had connection issues, sometimes working, sometimes not, and if you move them to another room, forget it... good luck getting it to reconnect. Waste of money.
New Review! Upon redoing all of my connected lights, and after, seemingly, a couple of updates, this app actually works pretty solid now! I was able to link it back up to my Google home setup with little issues, just had to remove the old setup and add a new one. My only request for a feature that would make this app AWESOME is if it could detect when your phone connects to the WiFi network and automatically turn the lights on for you when you get home, otherwise, good job guys! I'm happy 😁
dark mode isn't dark it's bright blue. Navigation, such as opening the app, splashes a bright white page before loading the chosen theme. Overall, the app does control and automate the lighting well and easily. However, it's lack of dark theme and overall neglect for digital wellness is horrid. If I choose to go to bed early I have to suffer a bright white flash on my screen, to then render vivid blue light, so I can toggle the lights off. Worse, if I miss the toggle it flashes more blue light.
+ UI is nice, the blue pops + Basic tasks easy to perform + Multiple ways to connect your Philip wiz bulbs - UI a bit cluttered on the - Not intuitive enough The app's presentation is nice, but it's cluttered with too much on screen. Basic tasks are easy to perform (turning lights on or off, changing colors, and the preset options are nice. Grouping all bulbs in all rooms in a schedule doesn't appear to be possible. Please allow the app to be more intuitive, so users could have more control.
It's either great or the big light is on at bed time. I've had these lights for 9 months. Pros - syncs with Google assistant, can create automations and prompts for my auADHD kid, turn on lights weekday mornings, great mood setter (relax, bedtime, cleaning) Cons - it's starting to be unreliable, can't turn the lights off/on or control colors/brightness through either the app or Google assistant, forced to deal with whatever light comes on when the switch is used, which really sucks
Following the boilerplate instructions from the "developer" results in "We are currently experiencing unprecedented high volume due to which our response might be delayed." Then nothing for hours. WORTHLESS. Today the app will control NONE of my lights 33 bulbs. C'mon Philips, when I think you can't get any worse, you manage to. Another update from Philips, another failure. Downgrading to 1 star
terrible app and products, always says my lights are disconnected and not able to be controlled (none of my other smart devices have this issue so I know it's not the wifi), new bulbs won't even connect to the app, the list goes on I will never buy another product from this company and I recommend that you stay away as well if you're considering purchasing from this company. on top of that the app is cumbersome and not well designed
UPDATE: NOW the only two lights that I have are constantly turning themselves on! They are outdoor flood lights, so I never know they are on until it gets dark out, or for how long they have been on!!! I turn them off, and 10 seconds later they turn themselves back on! Now I cannot get them to stay off! I definitely do not recommend these lights! I only have 2 of these lights, and one or the other will either not turn on or not turn off. HORRIBLE product.
