Cree was hesitant to add a wise bulb to its greatest-selling LED lineup, but that changed this yr with the addition of the $15 Cree Connected EcoLight LED. Sharing the build and lighting specs of final 12 months's properly-reviewed Cree 4Flow LED , the new Connected LED provides in a Zigbee radio. Pair it with a control hub, and you will be in a position to turn it on and off remotely, or schedule automated lighting adjustments. At launch, Cree's smart bulb was somewhat married to the Wink Hub , which made sense given that you're going to buy each off the shelf at House Depot. Since then, nonetheless, we have seen official help roll out for additional control gateways, including SmartThings and the Philips Hue Bridge . You may add the bulbs to the new D-Hyperlink model of the Staples Join Hub , too, though there is not official, Zonoff-certified help just yet. The bulb works nicely across all of the platforms we have examined it with, and it shares the strong lighting specs of the 4Flow LED that got here before it.
