Great Bluetooth Light Bulbs

screamingGuitar

The bolt bulbs are great & with the Bluetooth iPhone app it's so simple to remotely control the room lighting. The app has many preset mood light settings. Additionally you can customize & save your own settings. So with one tap you turn on all synced lights. You can set different colors for each bulb for any of the saved settings provided or for your custom settings. All settings are dimmable. Several of the provided lighting settings have dynamic "play" mode. Awesome bulb & app!

Stay away, complete trash

I bought my bolts while they were on super sale. A year or so later, I completely understand why they were so cheap. This app itself is terrible WHEN it even works. It has massive usability issues like upgrades to the bolts. Why do I have to do that one by one? Doesn't work with HomeKit, it never remembers room associations correctly and bolts keep popping out into the default group and aside from all that the Bluetooth connectivity is shotty at best. I often find myself having to reset the app the even connect. Fast forward, as of the iOS 10 release I cannot connect to any bolt period from 3 different Apple devices. I've contacted Misfit support at least a half a dozen times regarding this and they haven't even bothered to respond. Customer service is apparently the only thing they care less about than maintaining his product. Don't waste your time, this product is complete trash. Im done dealing with these bozos and their half assed product. I'm switching to Phillips Hue or Lutron.

App is an under-preformer

I have had these bolts for many months now. I do like the bulbs, very much, and have them in many rooms. That's the good. The app... that's the VERY BAD. It is extremely slow to recognize the bulbs, even when sitting within a foot. Bulbs are dropped from my groupings causing me to continually have to replace them in the proper group. Even then it often will not control all bulbs in that group. I have repeatedly disconnected all built and re-paired them, still no love. It would be nice to have a feature to set sunrise and sunset, to begin the day and end the day. Overall the app is completely frustrating and a headache to use, overall unreliable. Which is a shame because I really want to love it... but I do not!

I used to love this

This app used to be fine. It set different colors, allowed quick access from the Notification Center, and had a sleep timer etc. It still does some of these things. The widget doesn't work, and the connection to the bulbs seems to take longer with less reliability. The app hasn't gotten anything but bug fixes every few months for the last year or two. I guess you can't expect much from a watch company to support light bulbs, but it would be nice to see some added features and updated reliability for new versions of iOS.

Love the hardware the software suuuuuuuucks

It never stays paired, it doesn't pair automatically when my phone comes in range, the brightness/dimness doesn't scale reliably, if you try to set a wake up time and also used the bedtime timer, the wake-up starts at HOLY CRAP NOONDAY SUN rather than rosy-fingered dawn... shall I go on?

Great app and light

Works great! Love the built in light mood settings although I Wish there were more to choose from. Very easy to use and set up.

No troubleshooting help whatsover

One day I would love ta have all 4 of my bulbs working at once! Unfortunately this app does not help at all when trying to connect to an inactive bulb.

Not compatible with Siri/Google home/ Alexa

I've had this bulb for 2-3 years now. I've seen some development, and some cool features like "presence detector" removed cause it didn't work properly. Overall, it's an okay product. There're other better and cheaper once. What I don't understand is why Misfit hasn't made it compatible with Siri home, google home, or Alexa like Philips Hue. It would be such a wonderful item if it was.

I Love The Lights But Change The Name

Crelyo

I absolutely enjoy waking up to this. The gradual increment in light has been a game changer for my morning struggle hehe. Also, I like the fact that I can turn on the lights without having to walk to the switch. And that it features a diversity of colors. I just can't stand the fact that they called the lights "Lonely Lights" ! Even though each bolt can be renamed and each room can be called whatever I want. That "Lonely Lights" tab can't be replaced !! Seriously, why would they do that to themselves ? Lonely Lights is such an unattractive name ... how about Lovely Lights instead ? Ely,

Almost decent

Set an alarm for my lights to come on in the morning and now it goes off every day. Can't shut it off. Looked on the misfit website, no solution. Emailed them and they never got back to me. Just google misfit alarm.... a lot of people have the same problem
