G9 Smart Bulbs, Alexa/Google only....which device to control soon to be installed wall lights.
I currently use Philips Hue Smart Bulbs.
Is there any inexpensive Alexa devices as I cannot find Philips Hue G9' Smart led's.

maybe Echo dot required....

There's an 

Amazon Echo Flex Plug-in Smart Speaker with Alexa

for a tenner from Argos. Rubbish speaker but has all the Alexa smarts if you wanted to try it. Costs less than a G9 smart bulb.

thanks

maybe expensive mistake.,
Wherever you are, simply control ALL your FluxTech – WiFi Smart light bulbs by "Smart Life" App or "Tuya Smart" App after connected to 2.4GHz WiFi only, *NO hub required*
Controlled by APP on smart phones (Android 4.1 above or IOS 8.0 above).

You'd probably need the app to set the bulbs up anyway. You might find that it's far more convienient to have an "always on" local device to control your lights rather than having to fire up a mobile app. Also, does anyone else need to control the lights when you/your phone are elsewhere?

And Echo dots are useful for other stuff too.

thanks mser's.

Only disappointed I didn't consider led type as I've been very happy with Hue E14's.
Though limited myself to homebase, maybe I could have searched for alternative wall lights elsewhere.
Going to collect dot anyway, hopefully it works via wifi as hue hub too up router spare ports.

G9 led wall lights working with Smart Life app/Amazon Echo Dot apps.
Only little over the top Glass Shades that don't fit properly, as Smart G9's slightly taller.
Very impressed with light levels.

thanks
