Do you like to set the 'mood' with lighting? I do. Now, for a 'senior' person, I'm pretty 'techie.' I have purchased at least 4 or 5 different brands of these 'smart' bulbs. But I always come back to the Kasa products. They are not crazy expensive, (as are some of the lesser-performing brands), but they are consistent. Best of all, they don't require a person to have some kind of technical engineering degree to set them up! My wife, who is DEFINITELY NOT A TECHNICAL PERSON, asked me if she could try to set one of these up. I told her, "Ok, but I'm not going to help you. Let's see if you can do it!" So, I gave her the bulb and the instructions, and off she went to the table lamp beside her sofa in the living room. She took less than two minutes to read the instructions before she screwed the bulb into the socket and got her Android phone in front of her. She downloaded and installed the Kasa app and began the process. I watched as she got the light to blink by turning the light switch on and off a few times, then poke her phone a few more. Then, it went off and came back blue, then green, the brighter, then dimmer. The whole process performed by a (defiantly) non-technical person took less than 8 minutes and with no words that would be unsuitable for your children's kindergarten class!
After that, she spoke to the Amazon 'Echo' device, ('Alexa'), to turn it on whenever she sat down in her favorite spot to read or watch TV.
Since then, she has asked me for more of these bulbs...
She asked me for another one!
