“I already owned one of these bulbs which has lasted years, it probably would have lasted longer if my daughter hadn't broken the lamp it was in! The bulb integrated 1st attempt with my Home Centre 2, normally this procedure takes numerous tries! The bulb is nice and bright, it can also be dimmed as well.”
“Domitech is my preference. I hope they become available again. I have tried a variety of alternatives. None are as good.
A Fibaro switch or dimmer module is the best solution, but due to lack of neutral at the wall switch, a Zwave LED lamp is my only option.
I use these lamps with a retractive (ie momentary) wall switch. With the Domitech, one press turns the lamp on while two presses turns it off.
None of the alternatives do this. Some turn on with one press of the wall switch. The Aeotec LED Bulb 6 cannot be turned on or off by pressing the wall switch. Shame.
I use these lamps with a Fibaro motion sensor, but I would prefer to be able to turn on the lamp via the wall switch as well.”
“The preferred option would be a fibaro dimmer switch behind the existing switch plate, but this bulb does work very well. The only downside is if somebody switches it off at the wall switch”
“Had this a few days, running thru a vera plus. Points to note.
If you turn light switch off at wall then it’s no longer a smart bulb as it rewuires power.
If you leave power to and use the app to turn off you can’t then turn it on at the wall.
There is no plugin created by aeotec for vera that changes the light colour on the fly. Rgb plugin is useless from aeotec.
You need to set parameter 81 for 2700k to 4999k for changing the colour and
You need to set parameter 82 for 5000k to 6500k
Bulb is bright enough but makes a terrible buzzing noise which is so noticable.
My advise would be to spend extra money on a fibraro dimmer 2 or similar and choose the bulb colour you most normally have/use for the room requirements.
Not really impressed.”
