Approximately 2 to 3 times a month, the light bulbs will disconnect from the WiFi for seemingly no reason. When that happens, I need to go into the app and re-add the bulbs. The process doesn't take long - if it works smoothly, I can do it within 2 minutes, but sometimes the bulbs don't add right away and can take up to 6 minutes. The issue is that when the bulbs disconnect, they change to their default color of warm white and flash nonstop. Imagine having a guest or family member in the bathroom and having the light bulbs flash, and the person's only option is to turn off the lights completely or live with it until the person finishes his or her business. Because I'm the only person with the app, only I can add the bulbs back to the app.
I use Lutron Caseta smart switches in virtually every room in my house other than the bathroom, where I use these Feit light bulbs because a smart switch could not be installed. I'll be getting rid of these lights soon and will likely not consider Feit smart products for a long while.
Update: Okay, it looks like lots of other people in this thread also noted that this product has a tendency to disconnect and flash, so I don't feel as bad about the negative feedback I provided.
I hope this helps and isn't too mean! Take care,
Tofu Vic

Their regular LED bulbs last a pitiful amount of time.
Pretty much on par with old school incandescents.
I'd pay the extra for a quality brand.
at least there's the solid backing of costco's policies to protect you against lemons

What controller are you talking about? These are advertised to work directly with Echo devices with Zigbee hub (Echo Plus or 4th gen Echo).
