2.0 out of 5 stars No remote, recommended app is difficult to use!

2025-12-24    -J.S.

Lights work well, easy to install but since they are dimmable it would be nice if they came with a remote. The Samsung app is intrusive to your entire house and is very difficult to use. You have to dim EACH light separately and it’s just very clunky. Sell the lights with a remote control!

3.0 out of 5 stars Does *NOT* work with Alexa!

Installed several of these for soffit lights in our new house. I wanted 'smart' lights.The lighting quality is very nice, wide dimming range, and color control.But, they are NOT (directly) compatible with Alexa, even though they indicated "works with". They connect with my cell phone by bluetooth and the SmartThings app, but you have to be within about 15 feet. They sporadically (too often) require a power-off reset to reconnect. They would not connect to a Zigbee hub. Apparently, they need an expensive SmartThings hub for Alexa interface.

I wish these actually worked right.

I’m pairing these with a sonoff CC2652P (Dongle-p) & Zigbee2MQTT & HomeAssistant.I built my Zigbee network with router/repeaters strategically placed around the house to give me ample coverage. I have routers in the bedrooms above the kitchen (where these lights are installed) in the kitchen and in adjacent rooms. 100% of my other lights are rock solid.These lights, I found through the compatibility list on zigbee2mqtt website.They are the ONLY waffle-style potlight that I can find in Canada that are 1) Zigbee 2) white tunable.I would return these in an instant, but there’s no other option that I can find.These lights do connect to the hub, and they complete the interview process. But they are very unreliable. Like very.I bought these so I could BIND a Zigbee dimmer (hue) to these potlights. But they are so unreliable that I no longer do that.I have 5 of these, and pressing the on/off on the Zigbee switch would only turn on/off 3 of them.To counter this. What I ended up doing was I installed a smart switch for these lights, so that I can turn them on/off to force them to reboot/reconnect.Sounds dumb right? Yes, it is.However, the lights do eventually work.I heavily and primarily use home assistant for the Adaptive lighting add-on, this auto changes the lights from warm to cool and back to warm throughout the day.If I turn on these potlights, they turn on, but the color is off. I found that eventually, they will adjust properly, it could sometimes take up to 10 minutes… for all 5 potlights to be in sync.So they work… kinda, but like crap.the "Adaptive Lighting" in Home assistant sends a command to the lights every 90 seconds, + every time a light is turned on for the first time. When I cut the power to these lights and then turn them back on. (thank god they turn on with "previous state") On average 3 of the 5 will tune to the correct hue of white, matching my other lights in the kitchen. usually, it's 2 that don't change (not always the same 2) right away. turning them on/off again doesn't fix it. but I found that if I leave them on long enough... they will eventually change. This means that they do connect to my network at some point. BUT, way too unreliable to use with a zigbee dimmer to actually control them.I have called support many times, and they just repeat the same thing, my hub isn’t compatible. They suggest I buy an Alexa. I really don’t think this will solve the problem. They are not technical enough to understand my advanced setup.These lights are on firmware 1.0I called support and asked for new firmware, but there isn’t any. They say there’s no problem. Meanwhile, every other bulb manufacturer has had many many firmware revisions.

5.0 out of 5 stars iPhone device discovery.

4th Gen Echo cannot find the device at 5 attempts. I tried my iPhone 13 and Alexa app click devices then click the plus sign / choose lights / others. iPhone was 5 ft away and it was discovered 1 attempt. There was an Echo 4th gen 10 ft away.

1.0 out of 5 stars these DO NOT WORK

2026-02-11    -Seuss

These "connected" units from Acuity / Juno DO NOT WORK. While the specs on these units are great, the connected functionality depends on either Alexa or Samsung Smartthings Aeotec hub, which Juno has not been able to make work. The manufacturer is aware of the issue and has been for a long time based on my communications with them over the last year. We spent thousands of $$$$ on their lights in addition to various smart hubs and wiring/WiFi updates per their tech support recommendations, none of which did anything to resolve the issue. In the end, they acknowledged their integrations with Alexa and Samsung/Aeotec are not functioning as designed and they have no solution. Now we've got an entire basement installed with these paperweights. If you need a very small quantity (1-3), you might be able to get them to work. Any larger quantity, forget it. The hub connections simply don't work, rendering the connected functionality useless. After a year of runarounds, they sent us out "dumb" non-smart/connected replacements for all units. Yet they continue to sell them knowing they're defective out of the box. DO NOT BUY.
