I bought two Wyze color bulbs a few years ago and they worked flawlessly. I especially liked the power loss recovery setting, which enables me to set the bulbs to return to the previous state after a power outage.
Last year, I bought two more Wyze color bulbs, with the intention of slowly replacing every bulb in my house. However, the power loss recovery setting on the new bulbs doesn’t work most of the time. Instead of reverting to their previous state, the bulbs turn on, even if they were off before the outage. In each instance, I have to go back into the app, where I find that the setting has changed itself to turn on the light. To make matters worse, when the power goes off, the bulbs usually drop off of the network, requiring me to repeat the setup process each time.
Imagine the light on your nightstand turning on in the middle of the night when you are sound asleep. That’s the reality I’ve been living with with the latest pair of Wyze color bulbs.
