Don't bother.


I got a couple of smart LED lights and a hive hub free from SG.


I've been having a play with them.


My wife is going mental at me and to be honest using a computer to turn your lights on and off is a bit of overkill.
Very overkill.


The only useful thing about them is they can be dimmed but who wants to turn your computer on to dim the lights.


Another gadget that will sit in a cupboard gathering dust.


Good job I didn't buy a smart phone to use them.


And trying to break the habit of a 70 year old lifestyle of switching the lights off at the wall switch!

    The idea you use them with a smart phone so you can download the app why would you use the computer to do it lol

    Because I don't have a smart phone, as per my OP.

    Though they do work on my wife's Kindle, which I am not allowed to use.
