Noticed this as well. I have a couple WiZ LED bulbs Costco sold a year or so ago, RGB is WAYY brighter on those bulbs.

Those who have these bulbs, what is the name of the app? Is it "Smart Life"?

I put two in our small living room (the only lights in here) and I find the white a little to dim for just sitting and reading. I could see them as secondary lights, but not sure they cover all needs for the only lights.....hope that helps!

There are a lot at Costco Yorkdale. I bought one but one of the three lamps doesn’t work properly. (Doesn’t turn red and purple).
Another issue is that they need my phone to be connected to 2.4ghz internet and won’t work with 5G.
Also noticed that the colours are not bright at all.
Will return them.

I gave up on Globe bulbs long time ago. All their bulbs I purchased died within 6 month. I asked for warranty replacement and did not hear back from them. Be aware

They have their own Globe Suite app, but they do work with the Tuya Smart Life app as well. Abilities may not be exactly the same.

Spotted at elgin mills and 404.

Might pick up a pack to test for night table and walk in closets. Reviews as it being too dim probably won't work as bedroom lights.

For anyone interested in this great deal, these settings in Tasmota will get you up and running for Cold to White + Brightness and RGB colors.

Tyua-convert can only be used on rap pi 3 b or can anything Linux do it? Was thinking of loading up an Ubuntu flash for my laptop and not having to buy another new device (rasp pi).

Any linux machine. I have an android tv box and installed armbian on my sd card. If laptop, you need a usb wifi adapter.

Holy crap, through an android media player? Any way you can share the steps or point me in the right direction for this?? Same initial steps for installing armbian on SD card from computer and then boot off SD card?

The laptop Ubuntu route can't work through the laptop built in WiFi?

If you're using s905/s905x use this https://forum.armbian.com/topic/2419-ar ... x-ver-544/. I used rufus to create bootable sd card. Then just follow the instructions here https://github.com/ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert

I don't think the laptop route will work. + its slow.

Did you get them working in homeassistant? What method are you using to talk to the lights MQTT?

Also anyone find a pack of these in Montreal yet?
