I got a 2-pack of the Philips Smart LED Matter Bulbs which are controlled in the Wiz app and Apple Home. Love ‘em! Got em’ on rollback at Walmart haha 😆 I wanna get more. I loved the fact that they are Philips bulbs and you don’t need the hub like you do with the Hue series.
Hi Adam I watched the video and bought the Tapo bulbs but can’t get them into either the Tapo App or Home app even after resetting them. How did you get the Tapo bulbs into your system? Thank you
Fantastic rundown! We definitely need more Thread lighting products. I refuse to use Wi-Fi for lights unless it's a novelty lamp that has something extraordinary going for it.
Nice comparison. I still feel like most of the prices are too high to be practical. Have you had any problems with certain brands not working after a time?
@@AdamsTechLife I’ve used 4 nano leaf bulbs in 3 years, I’m looking to find a different brand which is why I’m watching your video, I can confirm that this comment is true 👍
Yes, with only features supported by Apple. You won't get all the features you'd get from Tapo unless you use the Tapo app like software updates, settings of the bulb, etc, if those matter to you.
@@AdamsTechLife Alright I got these Tapo lights. I am wanting to automate them, so they turn red at night and white during the day. But I do not see this as an option. Do you know if this is possible? Thank you! (Could not get HomeKit to work worth a damn, so am using the native app)
I love that you have Hide Yo Kids Hide Yo WiFi as your WiFi network name! I've had that name on one of my networks for years. Funny net names make the world a better place 🙂
The thread network gets stronger with more devices When nano leaf was only in my room plus my office. Now we have the bulbs all over the house response is instant If your going to install do multiple
Phillips Wiz offers brighter bulbs. They offer a brighter 100w equivalent A21 bulb which is only a few dollars more expensive than the 60W. I personally got the 150W equivalent A23 bulbs from them. I think they do around 2550 lumens.
I also have some older ones with the Phillips branding and these are indeed looking great. The newer Wiz matter branded ones have quite awful tungsten light though @@jumpierwolf
Best smart bulb comparison I've ever seen. This is what I wanted! Simple and clear. I always wanted that someone trys to compare about power loss and fade in/out. I hope There's a way to buy L535E here in South Korea. Thank you for review anyway.
So glad to hear my video was helpful! I love hearing that. And yeah, i don't often see people comparing power loss and fade on/off when it's something that should be considered. Since Tapo is new, it may take a while to become available in SK. Thanks for watching! 😊 ❤️
How can you say what colour is "accurate" without actually measuring it in anyway? You deciding which one is accurate is not an objective basis for anything, that's your opinion.
All tech reviews are opinion based keep that in mind ;) accuracy is personal opinion. i show you the differences and tell you my thoughts. you decide for yourself what's accurate and what's not. i'm just comparing them for you.
@@AdamsTechLifethose are a lot of words to say nothing. No one can get a proper tell on how accurate colors are by eye (maybe except for some highly trained professionals). If you’re gonna rank stuff based on objective measures like color accuracy, you have to measure it right. You’d be better off not including color accuracy if you can’t properly measure it
Your thread/matter problems are strange … 🤔. I’ve a lot of Nanoleaf light strips and HomePod mini and I never has any connection problems … But, that’s true it’s the initial « Thread for HomeKit only » and not the « Thread for matter » version. Maybe a problem of maturity …
Wiz really messed up the tungsten color on their latest E26/E27 offers. Mine are also red when set to anything below 3500K. The Tapo and Nanoleaf look great though in your comparison. Will consider getting some of these instead. Anything else I have from Wiz has perfect 2700K-3200K without any red tint.
I would like to buy some smart bulbs for my home, I was thinking to buy bulbs Zigbee protocol, but Matter is good to have multi admin, I don’t like the idea goes trough WIFI..
So I bought a Tapo bulb just to try. Well it connected to HomeKit and Alexa just fine. After that it stopped responding and now it will only work with the Tapo app.
I'm sorry to bother you again. However I've got the impression that in your demos you always use the vandors' apps to control the light hue and saturation (color and brightness). Is this because the ecosystems' generic Matter apps are not sufficiently muture yet to actually obviate the vendor's apps? If this is the case, do you have any estimation when they will be.
With Tapo can you schedule different color light based on time of the day? If I wanted to get two of them and simulate sunrise and sunset colors - would it be possible?
Apparently Nanoleaf is compatible with Google Home. I’ve tried in the Google Home app, on the Google Nest Hub Max and the new Google Pixel tablet but haven’t been successful in pairing it. Has anyone else been successful? I am trying to find a bulb that will work with both ecosystems.
I also struggled with the same apps/devices. Had to contact their support, but they did help me out and was able to make it work in the end with google assistant, Hub Max, app, etc.
Nano leaf for me works fine. Only had connectivity issue once so far which I was able to fix just by turning power off/on. But I do have issues using it with Homekit automation.
@@AdamsTechLife Adaptive Lighting on Home Assistant is fantastic if anyone is looking for an alternative, and works with any kind of lighting that supports white adjustments.
The non matter version does, that’s correct. Matter itself doesn’t support adaptive lighting so any device that uses the matter protocol won’t support adaptive lighting
So the answer is Hue. sigh. I've been struggling STRUGGLING with Meross for years and am just SICK of it, i've been slowly converting to HUE, and they are 99.9999% perfect all the time. my Meross fail about 20% of the time in some way. All of these other brands seem like more of the same. thank you for helping me see the bambulzlement of this garbage. i'm dropping another fortune on more hue bulbs. these other brands are worthless on resale too just FYI. you can recoup a pretty hefty portion of your buying price selling used HUE bulbs, try selling any other brand with the exception of some nanoleaf items, and you'll see they're garbage.
