I love these lights, I use 6 A19 bulbs and 4 BR30 bulbs for the kitchen. I have the 6 bulbs spread between 2 bedrooms and a bathroom.
I started getting these in 2018, and have bought a couple more each year. So far, I have had no issues. I see some low reviews for Google Assistant, I can't say anything on the Google stuff - I use the Hue Hub and Echo Show/Echo dots.
Using Hue Hub and Echo, I've so far never had a connection issue with these bulbs, like I have had with cheaper bulbs I tried in the past. I have bedroom lights set to turn on when my alarm goes off, and they have never failed so far. Echo and Hub both find the lights right away, and I can set routines with either app. I never bothered to look at the instructions the bulbs come with, if you have connected any smart devices to apps before, there isn't much to it. Turn on the bulb, and Echo/Hub will find it. Just note that if you have a power outage, the bulbs will typically turn themselves ON when power is back...that can be a little jarring at 3am! You can also set the bulb to remember it's last setting, so if you flick off/on the light switch (normally leave the switch ON all the time), it will turn on at the same color/brightness it was last.
I use the base wattage bulbs, and they have been perfect for me, but I generally keep my lights lower, such as 10% for bedroom lighting, and around 60% for my kitchen. At 100%, it's more than bright enough for me. Colors look great, and make my home office way more comfortable. Using a setting like "energize" in the office helps my eyes feel less sore, I'm big on setting just the right color for working.
I have given these lights a 5, because I have never had an issue with the 10 total I have (and may be getting 4 more today), I've never had an issue between these bulbs and my phone apps Echo/Hue Hub, lighting is great and color is what I wanted in a bulb. I love smart-lights, and after testing cheaper ones, these have been much easter to work with (in my experience), and unlike my old ones they have always stayed connected to my apps. 3 years so far with never having to reconnect is a win for me. Just bear in mind, I can only speak to using Echo and Hue Hub with them.
