Nice intense warm lighting. It doesn't work with Alexa (I don't change the server to Singapore since they say it disconnects again). It works perfectly with Siri using the shortcut on iPhone. It always responds quickly here, even after unplugging and plugging it back in after 5 seconds, it's already connected.

For iPhone shortcut:
Xiaomi Home app
Scene (below)
Press the + on the top right
Completely manual
Choose the lamp
Turn on and set light
Choose the brightness level for this scene
Name the scene
Press the checkmark on the top right
Go to the top of the list and press "Add to Siri"
Choose the scene you created
Give it a name to run with Siri (e.g. soft light)

Hey Siri, soft light

Well, I recently bought 3 light bulbs because I wanted to connect them to Alexa and control them with voice commands. I had functional bulbs, but I replaced them with these ones just because they claim to be compatible with Alexa. Unfortunately, Alexa cannot detect them at all. They connect instantly with the Xiaomi app, but you have to turn them on and off through your phone, not with voice commands, which is not what I need. I hadn't thought of researching earlier, unfortunately the internet is full of complaints about the bulbs not connecting to Alexa. It's a shame. I'm giving them one star only because they should stop advertising that they are compatible with Alexa or fix the bug. If someone wants to use them through their phone, it's okay, although they are not particularly bright.

  8 out of 10 times I find it disconnected from the wifi, making it useless for smart home because every time it needs pairing from the beginning.

  Very good bulbs. Xiaomi is a guarantee in smart devices. Unfortunately, as others have mentioned, they do not work with Alexa for voice commands. These specific bulbs do not have a problem with Alexa, it just doesn't work with the Mi Home skill on Alexa. However, they work normally with WiFi for turning on and off, and you can also create a program for them to turn on and off by themselves

  Very good choice if you want a simple white color, the low lighting it has at 1% is what you need to relax while watching TV or sitting at the PC.
  The app is very good.
  The only thing that personally gave me a little trouble at first is the initial connection, I got a bit lost in the menu of the App.
  Nevertheless, I am thinking of putting similar bulbs in other rooms of the house.

  Easy installation, I already had the application for controlling Xiaomi's external camera. Very bright for a bedroom (we have it at 25% and the light is sufficient). No general problems. Worth it.

  Update: I eventually placed the lamp on the balcony so that I can control it without a switch and even when I'm away. After several months in an outdoor area, it continues to work perfectly.

  Update 2: 1.5 years later and with daily use for many hours, the lamp works just like the first day I got it. It never needed to work above 50% brightness - at 100% it is very bright. In the end, I recently bought 3 more for another area of the house. Also, the feature that allows you to group and control multiple lamps together is very powerful, and it's very easy to do so through the app. The app itself has only gotten better over the years. 5/5

  Good quality, easy connection and integration into Xiaomi's ecosystem. Very good price. However, it is excessively warm, like yellow, and at 1% it is excessively bright, definitely not suitable as a night light.

  Easy installation on mobile with Mi Home, quite annoying installation/connection on Home Assistant, even for someone very familiar with the subject. As a bulb, it is quite good for this price.

  The most useless bulbs I have ever bought...
  The power cuts off and they don't reconnect...
  When they are connected, they disappear at some point from the program...
  There are much better quality bulbs that work perfectly...
  Stay away from these if you don't want to be bothered

  I bought 2 mainly because I wanted to change the lighting level and also because I often forget to turn off some lights... I have had them for a few days now and I was satisfied because the connection with the app seemed relatively easy and they were working fine! However, since yesterday they won't connect to the app at all, they constantly appear offline! I tried resetting and reconnecting them, but nothing happened! After 2-3 attempts, I deleted them from the devices in the Xiaomi app and tried again to add them, still nothing! Maybe I haven't exhausted all my efforts to reconnect them, but it has definitely become frustrating.... Especially because I keep thinking that it will happen again from time to time.... I don't know if they are worth it and if they are ultimately a VFM purchase...

  Four stars because I expected the maximum brightness of the light to be stronger. I think it is only suitable for bedrooms, in a larger space it would be lost

  I have it for 2 months in the bedroom, I love it!!! It automatically opens every day, the light becomes very low when I want, I have no connection problems, and I can close it with the app or with a voice command through Google Home. I have already entered the covers!

  Difficult installation. The only solution is to scan the QR code from the manual inside the packaging of your bulb using the Mi Home application, and then connect to the network indicated by the application. Before pressing operation confirmed, make sure to flash the bulb 5 times (2 seconds on and 2 seconds off each time), as required by the application, and it will flash for a few seconds. Apart from that, the bulb is very reliable for its price.

  With the exception of the quirky installation/attempts 2 or 3, I have no complaints, quite good value for money. I have placed it outside the front door with an automated scheduler. Since then, I have never turned on/called the light again. It has only stuck once, but it returned to normal with an off/on.

  Adequate lighting, surprisingly doesn't attract mosquitoes.

  I am satisfied, maybe I would have liked it a little stronger. It works perfectly, I recommend it. I have also purchased the wireless switch connected to a hub and I can control it both with the button and with Google Assistant remotely or through Xiaomi Home

  Connected very quickly without any problems. I have installed 6 bulbs in the same space, grouped them, and control them all together. The controls were easy, I haven't dealt with them too much until now, I have had them for 2 weeks. I will come back if needed.
