Ratings & Reviews for Google Smart Light Starter Kit Chalk

Great addition to the Google Home setup!

The Google Smart Light Starter Kit is a great addition to the Google Home family of products! I love that the light is dimmable through the Google voice commands. I also enjoy that I can turn the light on and off through the app away from home. PROs Easy to set-up (plug it in and follow the prompts on the app) Easy to add to the Google Home App Dimmable On/Off from anywhere, even away from home CONs You have to have a mini in the room with the smart bulb Can't figure out how you'd us...

Best thing ever

I love this product. It is so convenient to use and something that I didn’t realize that I would use but now I couldn’t imagine not having it. I am thinking of purchasing more items to connect to it especially the light bulbs.

Great product bundle for the price

Pros: The Google Hub offers good sound quality and is fairly easy to set up. The Philips Smart Light is excellent and also fairly easy to set up. You can control the light by voice and even change it brightness, which is the feature I like the most. The combination price for this set is unbeatable. Cons: Setup for the smart hub had an initial hiccup, but then worked flawlessly. Note I already had a Google Home account before adding this new device. Set up for the Smart Light failed the first ...

Great Bulb

We are elderly and this bulb has made us feel safer at night. We can turn the light on via our voices and not have to stumble around in the dark to find a light switch. You can turn the light off when you are already in bed. We just feel a little bit safer with this light. We intend adding more of them. Very easy to set up even for me not being a technical person.

Google nails it

I am really enjoying the thoughtfulness behind the aesthetic of googles newest products. The chalk finish is neutral and the curves of the hub are pretty. We are also Lifx bulbs but I prefer the look of the bulbs that come with this starter kit. The smart bulb is a GE dimmable LED. Easy installation: Install the light bulb, download Google Home app and it will prompt you throughout the process. Voice recognition works well. Good control with both the app and the hub. I feel like thi...

Too complex

This product is too complex to set up and as an individual item is almost useless. At the price on Lowe's website, $45, I would not buy it. I don't see a practical use for it in a typical home.

Handy

The Smart light really work well, I installed the bulb in the floor lamp in the family room. Which the switch is about 20 feet from were we sit, it's very handy to just tell the light to come on and off when needed. It might make you little lazy, but boy is it handy. I'm looking to see if I want to put more bulbs in other places. Try one you will like it.

A great way to learn about Home Automation

I felt like this was a great way to dip into finding out how to start setting up my home as a smart home. I love it! I can control my light with either my voice, if I am at home, or I can control it via the google app on my iphone. I can also control the brightness from 0-100%. I felt that the setup was a breeze; I just plugged in the Google Home Mini, screwed in the GE C-Life bulb in a light fixture I wanted to control via through the google app I downloaded on my phone. The app actually walks...

I like it

It was easy to hook up in my bedroom. Included connecting the mini to my WiFi and the bulb via Bluetooth. I also connected the mini to my TV, it plays music, and other requests. Able to dim the light bulb. I’m still learning all I can do. Google provides tips and suggestions for using it. Fun little gadget.

Easy Setup then...

The initial setup was easy. The bulb was discovered and worked well. After leaving and returning home, the app could not find the bulb. I think it's having a problem with our Eero Modem (Router) Range extender. Speaker sounds great. It didn't seem to respond well to verbal commands. When my wife says something to me in that tone of voice, I definitely hear her.

Very nifty light control

The google mini alone is high on the cool chart providing access to so much data and response by voice. With just a little set up time the pairing of the light adds a new level of cool. I thought the clapper was cool from years back. Now just say, “Hey Google, lower the lights by half” and boom the level changes. Definitely a neat device and a good step toward a “smart home”.

Google Smart Light Starter Kit Bridge Home Automat

The product was a wonderful addition to our home. The quality of the speaker on the bridge was wonderful. It has integrated very easily with our other google smart home devices. The light bulb is a nice addition to be able to turn a light on and off when arriving home for the day. Product was very easy to setup and works well with google phone app.

Seamless Set Up & Responsive

I've been using this set-up now for a week and I wanted to leave a feedback of my first impressions. 1. Set-up was a breeze with the use of the Smart Light and the app. Much easier than it ever was setting up our smart-plugs, so that was a huge plus. I love the fact that you can control the dimming action of the bulb and I will definitely be purchasing more of these for our home. 2. The Google Hub Mini is fantastic! Listen, we have two of those other hockey pucks from another company and...

Nice starter kit

This is a nice starter kit for anyone wanting to start getting into a smart home. We already have a few other smart devices so this was pretty easy to setup for us. Love the fact that I can turn on and off our lamp (that my wife always leaves on) without having to fidget with the switch or walk across the living room. Highly recommend it!

Smart tech option

The Google mini is an affordable smart tech option. Very easy to set up. Although after you download the Google app you also need to download the Google assistant to use the voice command feature. It’s been fun to use and would recommend as a starter kit.

Quite the....

...handy little device. Google Home Mini can do it all. It is a multi function smart home device. It's aesthetically pleasing, compact, and very intuitive assistant. Plays music, controls multiple smart devices, organizes you schedule, provides reminders, answers any questions you can ask it.. Handy for movie times, store hours, business addresses, traffic updates, and keeping you current with the news and weather. Kind of like having a spouse that knows anything and everything. Yet speaks to yo...

works great!

I really love this product! It is so nice to just say turn off/on lights and not have to get up to do it. Now I am going to have to get more of these smart lights

Smart Light- Yes Please

Do you remember those commercials on TV with the light that came on when you clapped your hands and off when you clapped again? Well, this thing dose one better it comes on when you tell it to and off as you wish. Oh how I needed one of these as a kid, no more going the bathroom in the dark. Finally, a product that does what it claims and easy to setup. Plug it in, download the app and let the fun and convenience begin. I'm looking forward to adding more items to my Home Automation Hub soon.

Great product

I love being able to turn on the light for the dogs when I forgot. Ask for the weather or to play music is great.

What a perfect bright invention! Really Cool!

I set my google hub to wake me at a certain time. Now all I have to do is tell Google to turn on my smart light and I don't stumble over furniture to find the light switch. I cannot believe what inventors will come up with next! This will come in real handy when guests show up for the holiday's and they do not know where the light switches in the bedroom are located, All they will have to do now is tell Google to turn on smart light and they are all set! Thank You for this wonderful accessory in...
