The lights will loose the connection to the Wi-Fi even though the wireless router is sitting within 6 feet. I know the router is reliable because we stream games that my kids never complain of their game messing up. Then when we have to reset or reconnect the lights, the connection will time out— sometimes it is the first light of six that times out. Sometimes it is the second, third, or so forth. Also, I can’t for the life of me, I can’t figure out how to configure the Tap and Run Automation feature. It would be great to be able to set an early morning soft lighting then it gets brighter with the day and gets soft at night again — you have the Rhythm feature but it is only on individual lights — Rhythm should be able to be set on a group of lights (I set up a group with six lights). And while you are at it, anything you can set for an individual light should be something you can do for a group for easier management.

The app is fine other than not making it super easy or specific to set certain schedules and to know what I’m doing. I’m really writing the review about the actually smart gimbal lights themselves. They’re offline every single day. They Can’t keep a dang connection. Super irritating. When they do work, it’s 5 stars, but they don’t work about 75% of the time when I want them to.

After installing nearly 24 smart lights in my home, I was excited about the "smart" experience they promised. Initially, they worked well, though setting them up was a bit of a hassle. However, after a few months, some of the lights began disconnecting and would reset from a soft warm light to a default bright white. To fix just one light, I now have to reset all the lights in that group or switch, which is incredibly frustrating. The lights were also supposed to update, but the connection always times out. I know it's not my WiFi since it's fast and well-supported with routers throughout my home. Unfortunately, it seems like a case of poor manufacturing and technology. Changing all the lights will be another headache, so be cautious and make sure to choose wisely before starting any project.
