Better than Kasa
These are similar to the old Kasa KL-130 bulb, but add several cool new features. For instance, there is now a “party mode” that can use your phone’s microphone to make a light show with your bulbs, or the bulbs can just cycle between several colors on their own.They also updated the sunset and sunrise times to allow up to 5 hours before or after instead of only 59 minutes. You can set your lights to turn on or off up to 5 hours and 59 minutes before or after sunrise or sunset, so you have lot’s of flexibility.The old KL-130 bulbs had an “away” mode, but they took it away when they made the switch to the Tapo app. The away mode is available from the main screen on these Tapo lights. When set to Away Mode, these lights will randomly turn on and off making it appear like you are home when you are away.The fade feature has also changed. The Kasa KL-130 can be set to fade up to 60 minutes. This Tapo light can only be set to fade up to 30 minutes. That being said, the ‘fade’ on the original light was stepped, so around every few seconds it would get brighter or dimmer and you would noticeably see it ‘step’. The Tapo light does this much more smoothly.The pairing feature also seemed different to me although it’s been a long time since I’ve set up the KL-130. I’m pretty sure those used Bluetooth for setup, and these use Wi-Fi instead, and that’s where people are probably going to have the most trouble. During the pairing process, it will ask you to pair your phone with the light. If you have a phone like my Pixel 7, you will need to turn off your cellular network connection while doing this, or the phone won’t pair to the light and setup will fail. They are also only 2.4Ghz, which can also cause people issues if they have newer phones. This is kind of a bad setup experience, but for me it was no big deal. That being said, I wouldn’t buy these for someone else unless I was prepared to help them set them up.Overall, the light color and brightness is indistinguishable from the older KL-130 bulb to my eyes regardless of the color setting, so I’m not replacing all of my old bulbs just yet.

The bulb that prevents us from interrupting my remotely working husband
I bought this bulb for my husband, who works remotely. His office space is in the basement near the laundry area, so the rest of the family was having to creep down the stairs to make sure we wouldn’t be interrupting a meeting or call by going down there to work on our laundry. I had been looking for a way for us to be able to tell immediately whether it is okay to go downstairs and stumbled upon this listing. It sounded like the perfect solution since the hall light is right outside the door that leads to the basement.Once my husband put the bulb in the light fixture, he downloaded the app and set up the connection. He was so excited when he could change the colors with just a tap on his screen. The available widget is perfect for this! The whole family knows that if the hallway is glowing red, we’re going to have to wait to take care of things downstairs. It does exactly what we wanted and expected it to do.It did disconnect from our Wi-Fi once, but it was so easy to reconnect that it wasn’t an issue. Sometimes connections just need to be reset and this might have been one of those instances.I would definitely buy this again for both this same situation or if another area of the house needs a visual alert.

بعد مرور ٤ شهور اصبحت لاتعمل بشكل جيد( تشتغل و تطفي من نفسها ) .

Muy buen producto. La app es bastante intuitiva de usar y para configurarlos te lleva paso a paso.La iluminación es bastante intensa en todos los colores y tiene buena distinción entre la luz cálida y fría.Fácil de sincronizar con los distintos asistentes como Google y Alexa
