Title: Osram Lightify ZigBee Smart Bulbs
Post by: JimH on January 24, 2016, 07:59:03 am

I bought a Lightify Starter Kit (http://www.amazon.com/LIGHTIFY-Starter-wireless-Products-dimmable/dp/B00R3ID25W/ref=pd_sim_sbs_60_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=31LjQWqeRGL) that has a ZigBee based wall wart hub and a smart LED bulb.  $55 from Amazon.

After some fooling around, adding the hub to the WiFi network, it upgraded itself and then eventually found the light bulb.  It's an ugly process but similar to most others.

Their Android app works well.

The bulb dims and changes colors.  Similar to the Philips Hue.

Seems good so far.

I bought another Osram Lightify bulb (http://www.homedepot.com/p/OSRAM-SYLVANIA-Lightify-60W-Equivalent-Tunable-Soft-White-A19-Dimmable-LED-Light-Bulb-73799/206042080) from Home Depot for $30.

I paired it with a Wink hub by using the Wink app on Android.  It worked first time.  No problems.
