Philips Illuminate Customer Insights

1. Missing a lot of key-features that you'd think would be included like Scheduling, Timers, Google Assistant compatibility, Real-Time Customizing View (have to save in order to view), and Custom Alternating Colors (currently only able to customize 5 colors in a row, no more, no less, which makes it impossible to alternate colors without 2 of the same colors being next to each other).Does not connect to lights Nov 2019 The last update for the app was over a year ago and it doesn't work on my Pixel phone.

2. PRO: Good colors & warm whites for LEDs, No broken or malfunctioning lights out of the box, app provides custom display capabilities (albeit limited) CON: App to control lights is half baked, very clunky UI, and doesn't play well with all mobile devices / routers.

3. WiFi sync capability is DOA, the software devs are aware of the issues and do not have plans to resolve them, can't adjust color brightness AND function / pattern at the same time, SUPER expensive for a product that misses it BIG on how it's advertised I DO NOT recommend this product at it's current price point.

4. Ability to chase colors in customize would also be nice.Just spent a ton of money on these lights and the controller.

5. I'd give this product a higher rating if the cost were just slightly above the "In Motion" Philips LEDs, or if the companion app were bug free and provided more user controls.2 stars for not connecting to smart home hub or voice control and lack of customizabke features.

6. If you're looking for lights that let you pick custom colors these are great.

7. It's a slightly more capable set of lights than the "In Motion" ones that come with a limited set of programmed functions & a remote, but at a MUCH higher price point.

8. The lights can display up to 5 custom colors at once.

9. Also the inability to add timers and control functions with Google assistant or even IFTTT makes these not as cool as they could be.

10. There aren't many functions available for custom colors though.

11. Once you can get it working, its a nice step up from generic static or blinky lights.
