WiZ 60W A19 Color LED Smart Bulb – Single Pack | Wi-Fi Connected | Voice & App Control | Motion Activation | Matter Compatible

I have been working for years trying to make my home ‘smart’ and lights seemed like a good entry point. If you have ever looked at swapping out all of your bulbs for a smart system, you know that the choices and decisions can be quite daunting. For the money, the Wiz line of products is very hard to beat. The price is way better than Hue, and the performance is much better than some of the other brands, especially when looking for multi-colored bulbs.

Pros:
* Cost – these things are relatively cheap
* No base station – there is none required. That is a huge benefit, as it reduces the overall cost
* Lots of colors – Playing with the colors and creating various scenes is really fun.
* The app is easy to use – the app is pretty easy to use, once you figure out some of its quirks. If you are someone who give up when something doesn’t work exactly like you think it should on your first attempt, you might want to reconsider this purchase (or any sort of smart home purchases until the tech matures a bit further, to be honest).
Making groups and setting up your various rooms is really easy. Even controlling lights in groups within each room is as easy as drag and drop

Things I wish were better:
* Rhythms – While Rhythms are a cool idea, it just really doesn’t work like I think it should. It gets confused if a switch is inadvertently turned off during a rhythm, and then starts over. It can be a bit of a pain to remove a rhythm if you have any sort of network issue
* 2.4Ghz only – I know that this is extremely common for most smart devices these days, but these will only work on a 2.4Ghz wifi band. This can become aggravating when you have a multi-band wifi where all of the networks share a name. Getting your devices to all talk to the 2.4 band can be challenging. It’s not impossible, but it may be a frustrating experience for some.

Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend this brand to anyone who wants to incorporate smart light bulbs into their home but doesn’t want to break the bank at the same time.

En una búsqueda asequible por domotizar mi hogar debo decir que he probado muchos focos inteligentes y puedo decir que esta marca por mucho es la que mas me permite tener un costo-beneficio aceptable.
Su precio es elevado pero se mantiene en la media de las demás marcas.
La facilidad de conexión es sumamente intuitiva y fácil.
Los modos de escena y de personalización de luz de color, blanco frío/cálido son espectaculares.
La calidad y duración del foco es resistente y el ensamblaje es bueno.
La sincronización es sumamente fácil, solo basta descargar la aplicación en tu store, abrirla y la app empezara a buscar los dispositivos (en este caso los focos), recomiendo usar una red con wifi 2.4Ghz. Se puede sincronizar vía manual o automática.
Ya tengo 10 focos y seguiré comprando poco a poco mas.

Leí en la caja que utilizando cada foco en un promedio de 3hrs/ día su tiempo de vida es de 22 años, así que es una inversión a largo plazo, son caros pero valen cada centavo.
Para controlarlos puede ser de varias maneras, desde el celular, la aplicación o algún ECHO vinculado a tu red wifi. Inclusive he podido controlarlo a través del mando remoto a voz del FIRE-TV. Las opciones son variadas.

Works great
Good price
Love it
Thanks.

Good lights (4.5 star), somewhat hampered by lackluster software (1 star off for now).

First, make sure you order the same bulb model from the same manufacturer. I previously picked up two single-bulb packs of Wiz from another manufacturer at a local home improvement store after reading reviews here. What I didn’t realize at the time is that there *are* multiple manufacturers for the same “Wiz” bulb.

My primary use-case for these bulbs is the master bath vanity, which has 8 lights total (4 over each sink). I went ahead and put the 2 bulbs in the center fixtures on one side and set them up.

When I received this 6-pack from Amazon, I add the other bulbs in.

Don’t get me wrong, it *works*, but you’ll notice that the bulbs are different. They come on at different speeds, have slightly different colors at *some* levels/colors, and in general behave differently. You should *definitely* go ahead and buy all from one source. I’ve gone ahead and ordered another 6-pack. It’s probably better to have 4 extra as future replacements. If you only have “enough” to cover your use-case, you’ll likely end up in a situation where you can’t get the same model bulb in a few years when you need a replacement.

^^^ No rating adjustment was made based on this. It’s just a fact of life.

The good news is that the bulbs I received from Amazon are better than the “name brand” Wiz bulbs I bought locally. They come on faster and more reliably from what I’ve seen so far.

Now the bad news — The app is a bit “weak”. If you are just looking for simplicity, then it will be right up your ally. But there are just glaring holes for me purposes.

Start with the fact that you’ll need to create a group of the lights in order to control them all at one time. Great, no problem there. But once you put a light in a group, then there’s no longer any way to control it individually. The “night light” mode is great for the middle of the night, but with 8 bulbs in the master bath, it’s still a bit bright in the middle of the night. I wanted to create a scene with only the 2 “outside” bulbs on each vanity on, but this just doesn’t appear to be possible with the Wiz v2 app. I don’t think it was possible with the v1 app, but I migrated pretty quickly to v2 and there doesn’t appear to be a way to go back. Once I migrated to v2, the v1 version simply exits on iOS. I could probably get around this with a full reinstall, but that’s not worth it.

On the bright side, I run Home Assistant for automation of other smart devices in my home, and Wiz integration with Home Assistant is pretty good. The Home Assistant page for Wiz Integration considers it to be at “platinum level” (the best possible). And Home Assistant can still control the lights individually even after grouping them, so I was able to set up a Home Assistant scene to turn the outside pair of lights to “night light”, but have all the others “off”.

Brightness and colors seem good. I do wish they could slightly dimmer, but the three modes I plan to use the most work just fine:

– True color: A nice warm setting that matches the bulbs that were previously in the fixtures. Great for morning. At some point, I might set up a slow transition so that the lights move from True Color to a brighter, cooler light over 10 minutes or so.

– Daylight: The brightest, coolest setting. Great for cleaning or shaving.

– Custom night-light as mentioned above

If you’re okay with it, the reds are a bit dimmer than the orange “night light”, and also (obviously) should exclude the blues that disturb rest patterns at night. That said, red isn’t a very “pleasant” light, even when dim.

I love that these lights dont need a base station to run, just screw it in and connect them up! Easy to program with the WIZ app and was simple to connect them to Alexa for voice control. They can be a bit tricky to connect, be sure to be on a wifi that is 2.5GHz rather than the standard 5GHz that most routers are setup with.

It is also great to use in areas where multiple lights are connected to one power switch such as a ceiling fan or bar lights as you can name them separately and turn them on individually instead of all at once

I love the various dynamic modes to set any mood , the color range is great and once you have them named or set in a room Alexa can turn them on and off by name or by room which is super helpful in the middle of the night when you realize you left the downstairs lights on!

Great value for the money, I now have them in every room in my house!
