These are pretty useless for the applications people are mentioning in these comments.
However I'm thinking of installing LED lighting to my driveway and rear garden. Setting it up in conjunction with these up I could light my driveway up via my phone before driving, riding or staggering home. Very useful in the winter (and for the security reasons) a practical use for them rather than a needless gimmick.

These are good, i have four of the HS110's and two of the LB110 smart bulbs. Provided you have a good WIFI signal in the location your using them they should work well.

I use these for the Kettle, bedroom Desktop fan, LED lights under kitchen units and TV in the living room.
very handy

Why use it for the TV? Surely you have a remote control for that anyway?

I've got a few I control via app and alexa, 1 for my mycloud hard drive which means I can turn it on and off anywhere if I want to watch something in bed, electric blanket turns on at the same time each day so it's toasty when I get there. And I'm buying another as my tumble dryer timer has a cool 20mins at the end which I want to avoid so I use the timer function for that.
You can buy cheaper unbranded one's but these work well for me.
I know there's a bit of cashback on maplin but amazon is easier.

These were £16.19 on prime day. If you can wait until Black Friday these will likely be the same price.

Remember these are the ones with the energy monitoring feature and not the standard ones.
