Perfect for HomeAssistant via Tuya app
Review from Tesco
Bought the GU10 downlighter bulbs for use with HomeAssistant home automation software. I set them up using the Tuya app (not the Calex app), which allows the Tuya Integration to download the settings into Homeassistant with then no need for the app. It was fiddly to get them to pair with the Tuya app - I found I had to place the bulbs, Wifi router and phone all very close to each other and had to use the "AP" pairing option (no success with the EZ option). But after pairing everything was very straightforward after that. Excellent brightness and dim control. Considering the same bulb from Phillips Hue will cost multiple times more, these are excellent value. Do note the colour mode of the bulbs is quite dim compared to the white colour temperature mode, but it is the latter where I'll be using them.
Not the easiest to setup
Review from Tesco
Not the easiest to setup if you are not at all technical with changing the band on your router. The light keeps droping out from the Internet.

Bright white, dim RGB
Review from Tesco
Pros Easy to use and integrate with alexa Compatible with the Smart Life app No hub is required White 9W - equivalent to the traditional 60W Cons RGB less than 1W !!! Colors are so dim to extent that will hurt your eyes Good in white but of that is the case would have bought any cheap white or warm white lamp
Not incredibly intuitive
Review from Tesco
I wish I got the luck of the person below who found it easy to set up. I'm very technically adept, and have a lot of smart home tech, predominantly Hue, so thought to give these a try. The setup procedure appeared to be relatively straightforward but whatever I tried I could not get it to pair. Even after you get over the apparently undocumented hurdle that if you're connected to a 5Ghz WiFi access point, the bulb only uses 2.4 which it tells you but does not tell you your phone is connected to 5 so fails without explaining why. Got past that and still no joy. Personally I would avoid, taking them back.
Good value lamps - colour control easy and Echo in
Review from Tesco
Good value lamps - colour control easy and Echo integration as standard. Also - easy to flash with Tasmota and work perfectly once template in place.
Returned - spend a bit more on decent smart bulbs.
Review from Tesco
Returned - I couldn't get the bulb to pair with Tuya smart app or the Calex app... The pairing sequence (the bulb flashing) remains flashing but still the app(s) didn't detect the device. I have other (non-calex) smart bulbs which use the Tuya standard and they pair with no issues.
These are totally ace, easy to set-up, great optio
Review from Tesco
These are totally ace, easy to set-up, great options with the app to change colour, brightness and timers. more than enough light given out when selecting the correct setting. Cheaper than installing dimmer switches,works well with Echo Dot (Alexa). I was that impressed i went out the next day and bought 5 more. reliability i can't say as only had for two day's or may have had 5 stars. Get them now while they are on offer.
