This is nowy fifth Tapo device, and once you set up the first, all others take seconds to set up in the app.Alexa set up is immediate and works well.Google seems to be trickier and flakier, once set up with Google you need to go into Google home, select the d vice again, and then it is set up, not just when you add it to Google in the TAPO app.I cannot speak to the usage time as yet as I have only had my Tapo devices for a couple of months for the old st, however if I find any issues I will update this review.Tips if this is your first TAPO device:1: download the app first, before turning anything on, plugging anything in.2: Turn " location" on your phone on, the app asks like it is an option but the software cannot "pair" the device without location, don't ask me why, makes no sense to me either, I have already written to the developers to ask them to fix this but had no reply as yet.3: if you are adding to Alexa, simply follow the in app instructions.If you are adding to Google ( so you can say ok Google , Turn living room lights off) then follow the in app instructions, and then when set up is completed, go to the Google home app on your phone, and add the device there too, otherwise Google won't find it/ them.4: leave your wall switch on, because it's only function now is to power the device, the wall switch will not turn the lights on any more, use Alexa/ Google commands or the app on your phone. If you switch the wall switch off, Google/ Alexa and the app will not be able to turn the lights on.I have been reassured by the manufacturer that when Google/ Alexa or the app turn the lights off, they are no longer drawing power, so leaving the wall switch on will not cost you money if you told the light to be off.Update:One thing to note is that if you change your wifi, you need to add each device back again so have your wifi password memorized.A tip for people in older properties with different wiring looms...To reset your tapi device ces ( bulbs, light strips) you follow a little game of " off and on" in the app.That means s it plays a little animation of a bulb with the light on and the light off and you have to manually turn the light switch on and off 3 times for a soft reset or 5 times for a hard reset, in time with the animation.If your wiring looms is a tad older, you might find this doesn't work, and if you contact support they advise you to manually unscrew and screw in the bulb in time with the animation to ensure that when the animation says off, your bulb is disconnected and actually off, however...I found that you can forge tottering on a stepladder to faff about with the bulbs, simply by slowing everything down, turn the light on when it says, turn it off when it says but keep it off for 4 seconds, or two " off " animations, repeat twice more for a soft reset and works like a charm.Now I don't know why, but my father who is an engineer said something about the old wiring but then got technical and my brain turned off, but this method worked for me, I told support what arrived had done to solve the issue ( because the regular soft reset worked fine in parts of the house and I realised where it was working were areas where the electrical wiring looms had been changed, where it wasn't working are areas still on the old electrical) and I mention it here in case anyone else is having difficulty after a wifi change or their soft reset isn't working or their hard reset isn't working, my method might work for you and may be preferable to unscrewing and screwing back in all your bulbs.Hope that makes sense.

These bulbs have been an eye saver for me for when I’m going for trip to the bathroom and don’t fancy being flash banged at two in the morning. It’s also means I can put furniture in front of my light switches and not have to worry about reaching for them since it’s all voice activated too. I have no troubles with these lights whatsoever and they seem to be more energy efficient than normal lights since half the time I have them fairly dimmed

This is the third of these we have bought, they are so handy. With Alexa you can turn the light on or off from any room - so no more pesky kids leaving their bedroom lights on! Also means you can turn the bedroom light on before you head upstairs for example, which in our house saves turning on serval lights on the way to the bedroom as the light is enough to see us up there safely. It also dims by percentage which further saves electricity, and removes our need for a bedside light. Connects easily to Alexa and phone app. Brilliant.
