The bulbs paired up and functioned well except that because they use the zigbee network rather than the wifi they need to talk directly to the echo and my bedroom is a long way from where the echo is so the response to commands to alexa was a bit hit and miss

On top of that if you dont have a hue hub you cannot do anything with the bulbs in ifttt because you cant make alexa the target that of an ifttt routine

Functionally they are just the same the light is a pleasant warm glow they are quite bright enough for a bedside light and because they talk over the wifi they will work anywhere in the house where the wifi signal is ok as opposed to where the zigbee signal from the echo is ok

The instructions tell you to download a lohas app to get them going but they will also talk happily to the smart life app which i already had for some other plugs
