I have a google home mini and alexa. Will these work without a hub? Anyone actually own these already?
I bought the smart clock and smart bulb deal from best buy. Just finished setting them up on Google home. No hub needed and didn't need to download GE app. Did everything through Home app.
For those of you looking at these, they are the Bluetooth version. The new WiFi version (direct connect) are not on clearance at Lowe's. The Best Buy deal with the clock was for the direct connect. There are several other Bluetooth bulbs and "C" accessories clearances at Lowe's. Good prices. You need a hub (i.e. "C" WiFi Smart Plug) to connect out of home. The android app is terrible, but can use google instead. I haven't used the iOS app.

I purchased the Item #1176076Model #93096312 (bluetooth) & Item #1526737Model #93096612 (bluetooth) back in early Jan 2021. I've had no issues with these bulbs. Just connected them through Google Home from my smartphone. Picked up a couple more boxes today as a back up and to add to remaining light sockets in need of them. Today, the #1176076 scanned @ $19.98 on my phone but scanned @ $9.98 at register. Bulbs work well with Google routines. These are good general purpose light bulbs (soft white only).
I have a few nest mini's scattered around the house so the connections are of no issue
Review the following Google link if you so desire- https://support.google.com/google...%20device.
If you need a brighter light you should give the "Feit Electric Feit Smart WiFi 100-Watt EQ A21 Color-enhancing Dimmable Smart LED Light Bulb" Item #1631438 Model #OM100/RGBW/CA/AG (WiFi enabled) a try. It's full price @ $19.98 ea but worth it for the brightness and full color spectrum.
