Ratings & Reviews for Google Smart Light Starter Kit Chalk

Amazing device

The Google mini is an absolute necessity after having tried it. At first I did have a hard time figuring out the settings to get it to work with my contact list and finding my grocery list and some other things. Once I finally figured it out and was able to really use it to its full potential it has been amazing. I can find my phone with the ringer off and stuck in the couch somewhere by asking Google. It turns the ringer on loud and will call your phone. This is the most genius feature I have e...

Easy to use and set up

We got this product, as well as 3 extra WiFi light bulbs, to add voice functionality to our bedroom and to control the lights while we're away. Setup was easy, took about 5 minutes, and we were up and running! I love being able to set the lights to go on and off when I want from where I want!

Home hub

We installed the light bulb in my son’s room, he absolutely loves it, since he was always scared to go upstairs and walk in a dark room. Now he just tells Google to turn the light on for him. He is super-excited that Google recognizes his kid voice!! (Competitors don’t.) He plays music on the mini speaker by himself. We are adding more light bulbs since it is super convenient. We often have guests who don’t turn the lights off when leaving the house and this is a great way for me to control the ...

PERFECT STARTER KIT

This is the perfect starter kit for home animation and controlling your lights. It is super simple to set up and since I already have the google home app all you have to do is plug in the bulb and Google automatically finds it and then you just make sure it blinks. I was amazed at how easy it was. The bulb is really nice and using the app you can dim it exactly the amount you want and it creates the perfect mood lighting. Using the mini hub you can also just ask Google to dim the lights as well....

Cool little product

This looks really good on my nightstand and is super easy and convenient to use. Set up was very easy and the bulb fits like a normal one. The app is great to control it, including brightness, when I am away from home and want my house to not look like it. If you are looking for an inexpensive way to venture into the smart home space, this is a great start!

The age of smart technology

Had my reservations about smart technology items like this. My opinion has changed since installing this Google Smart Light. Installation was easy. The voice command to turn a light on and off when entering or leaving a room is a great feature. The use of this device for information like the weather forecast to sports scores is an amazing feature as well. Plan on adding more or these devices thru-out the house as a result of this positive first contact experience.

just not for me

I could never get it hooked up right to use the light bulb to turn off in living room, but I'm not a fan of all this technology. If you someone who is then this is for you and probaly be able to set it up right

Super Helpful

I absolutely love the mini google. It’s fantastic and easy to use. Have it set up to turn on the light for the front door and it’s helpful when I’ll be getting home late so I can open the door and just ask google to turn on the light. I’ll be getting some more bulbs and such though too. Still learning what all it can do though but so far I enjoy it and definitely recommend it.

Great product

This is the first smart in home device I have purchased. It was very easy to setup. I love to listen to music so it’s awesome to just talk to it and it plays music. I currently have it setup in my bedroom and with the GE smart bulb it’s very convenient at night. I can lay down read a book with the light dimmed so I am not blinded. Then when I am ready to go to sleep just say hey google shut the light off. No more getting out of bed to flip a light switch. I love it. The only thing I wish it woul...

Cute home automation

To be honest, I had a hard time setting up the device. Once I got it configured it works great. I love being able to control lights and ask questions. I like the soft fabric covering which blends nicely with my home decor.

works as expected

The light turns on as expected. All you have to do is ask. The only reasons I gave it four stars is that I had a little difficulty getting it connected to my phone app and there are competing products that do the same thing. Phone support did get the app connected. I was instructed to turn my phone off and restart my phone and that did the trick. The wait time on the phone for support was short. You will not be disappointed with the mini and light.

Great product

I recently acquired a Google Nest Hub Max so I couldn’t wait to pair this with it. The setup was simple. Install the bulb into desired socket, plug in the Hub and follow the prompts. It’s really that easy. The thing that stands out most to me about the Google products is that they work as one would expect. I’ve had seamless operation and function from my Google units so far. Very pleased with this product. I’ve added my Honeywell thermostat and my Roomba home vacuum and both respond and operate ...

Google Home Automation Hub

I love this product. I was skeptical that I could do everything without calling in my grandson...but was able to get it done. This has been so handy!

Great addition

I have the Hub Max and a Google Home Mini already. This was an addition. I have a couple other smart home devices from another company but the Google device seems more intuitive and the sound is awesome. The Smart lightbulb seems to be working well. I would recommend this bundle.

Needs to come with more lights

I'm a little frustrated that you only receive one light with this package. I understand you're getting the Google mini and the light for a decent price, but I really feel you need more than one lightbulb to use this at its full potential. Other than that, it's been good. The size of the Google mini is perfect and the setup was VERY easy.

Great voice recognition

I am having a good time with this light and hub. Matter of fact, I have bought two more smart light bulbs Just so the three lamps in my front room can be controlled together. I am also impressed with the voice recognition Google has, even with music playing and people talking it picks up on its trigger word more than others I think. I did have a little delay in trying to sync up the lamps, but after a little tweaking they are all up and working great!

Great Start Kit for Smart Home

I am a professional geek, and I have had an Amazon Echo for years, but the Google Nest Hub Mini is currently a much better option today in my opinion. Buying a Google Nest Hub is the only way to get access to the Google Assistant, which I think is much nicer than the Amazon Echo Alexa. The Hub Mini is not perfect, but it is really a leap in the right direction. It ties in with my other Nest Thermostats too. I won't waste time on how you can get the news, weather, sports, recipes and other inform...

A Great Start In Home Automation

I could not be more impressed. I put this device in my bedroom and on day one, at bed time I made a silly statement and got back what time I wanted to set the alarm , a pleasant “good night” and a few minutes of pleasant sounds. In the morning I got some very pleasant sounds and a light display. I could easily turn on the lamp with a verbal request before getting out of bed. In conjunction with the Google Nest Hub Max, these 2 devices are fabulous.

Pretty Slick

The hardest part of getting this product up and operational was my own lack of computer expertise. Messed around trying to get Google Home up and running. Because of my lack of understanding and education with my tablet I was getting nowhere. I finally asked my neighbor to give me a hand. Within a matter of minutes he had be up and running and using the Smart Light Home Automation Hub ! Installed the hub and necessary bub which came with the initial set up in our TV/Computer room. I can now turn...

A great Hub and a DIM Bulb

This starter kit really consists of 2 products: First is the Home Automation Mini Hub, it works great easily integrating with Google Home and operating all of the compatible devices I tested it with flawlessly. It is very easy to install and configure. The sensitivity and discrimination seem to be very good. Second is the GE C-Life Smart Bulb, a 760 lumen LED bulb with a built in Bluetooth interface that lets the mini hub control it (on/off/dim). The Bluetooth interface limits the distanc...
