    Thanks OP. Seems like a good deal for RGBW! And it's 1050 lu too!

  • sktzr on 23/07/2020 - 10:01

    Just bought the 4pack. Hopefully can get them working with my slowly building hass.io setup.

    • ozbmm on 23/07/2020 - 10:03

      4 pack sold out now!

    • NigelTufnel on 23/07/2020 - 11:36

      Should be fine. They'd be tuya based, so you can easily add them using the Tuya integration via cloud. Most e27 bulbs I've tried have also been able to be flashed with tasmota to move to local network control.

      • winderic on 23/07/2020 - 11:43

        Hi, is it easy to do to flash tasmota? Any we guide that I can follow? I have brilliant and genio smart bulb at the moment. Thanks

        • orza on 23/07/2020 - 12:23

          Easy with Digiblur's guide. Most of the time is setting up the rPi for the first flash. There is already a Tasmota config for the Kogan switches on blakadder
          I had trouble with the ESP 'donor' device so I just used by phone's wifi as per the guide.

        • NigelTufnel on 23/07/2020 - 13:32

          Yeah, quite a few guides out there, as orza noted, plus quite a few youtube guides. Most of it is just setting up the Pi.
          Also remember that the Pi needs to be hooked up to ethernet to work (as it uses the WiFi to create the hotspot. I thought I was going crazy when it kept crashing on me until I realised I was being an idiot.
          Wasn't helped by the fact it turns out the one I was trying to flash wasn't compatible with Tuya-Convert…

          Feel free to PM me if you have questions/issues.

          • opposablethumbs on 23/07/2020 - 13:40

            @NigelTufnel: Can use "screens" through Putty on RPi Zero W to get away with only wi-fi.

            Have successfully flashed several Tuya devices this way now.

        • netsurfer on 23/07/2020 - 20:09

          You generally need a Raspberry Pi. You could use docker, but if you asking the question, it is not a good idea for you to go down that path.

          There is also risk involved. I went with esphome. While tuya convert isn't difficult, it is just a starting point. Also, not able to restore back to original firmware. You cannot also just trust the model number. I have 3 of the supposedly same model of smart switches and bought at the same time. One simply doesn't work after tuya convert + esphome.

          Not sure what other people use. After esphome, then there is home assistant. Sure, it is great to not get locked in to a cloud vendor, but the process isn't fun and isn't risk free. Also, a number of routers do soft reboot when you alter DHCP manual address allocation. There is a reason why tuya convert asks whether you want to flash another device because it is not that pleasant to be honest.

  • DooDah on 23/07/2020 - 10:02

    Would love some E14s

    • A s h on 23/07/2020 - 10:11

      Just get adaptors off eBay or Amazon mate. I've down the same and have been able to use the cheap ones I got from Bunnings in a variety of sockets.

      • DooDah on 23/07/2020 - 10:12

        Thanks mate. I'm just starting out with smart lights… The arlec ones from Bunnings?

        • NigelTufnel on 23/07/2020 - 11:30

          Yeah, bunnings have arlec e14s. They are tuya based so you can add them to any tuya based app. The one I bought was unable to be flashed with tuya-covert though if that's of interest.
          Going to try the kmart ones as well, though I'm not holding my breath for it to be any different.

        • A s h on 23/07/2020 - 11:59

          Yeah got a few Arlec ones and have used them in $10 IKEA lamps and a few others, adaptors are about $1-3, depending on where you get them.

  • Damonator84 on 23/07/2020 - 10:08

    Anyone now where to get higher wattage WiFi bulbs?

    • Tdsr on 23/07/2020 - 10:10
      +2

      The only one I found was Kmart 15W 4000k mirabella globe. Phillips is also coming out with some 15W 6500k globes I think. I haven’t come across anything with adjustable colour or colour temp above 10W though

      • Damonator84 on 23/07/2020 - 10:35

        Yeah have 7watt one and it's too dull for a kitchen.

      • Lukian on 23/07/2020 - 18:20

        How much are the brighter ones? Mind linking them?

        I find my 1100 lumens lifx (~$pricy) are good for all rooms, but they're too expensive to carpet a house. The ~800 lumen phillips (~$14) were too dim (even for a bathroom, maybe okay for porch light or toilet). I got a 4 pack of these kogans (~$8) to see if they're any better than the phillips hue.

  • Dubious speculation on 23/07/2020 - 10:10

    Anyone tried these? I find it's impossible to determine how much flicker these smart bulbs have without trying them. The Xiaomi Yeelight is well received however the flicker is quite noticeable to the naked eye, it's not unbearable but they're generally unusable as cheap practical lights in a filming scenario.

    If these are any better then that's an automatic win.

    • pdtmathieson on 23/07/2020 - 10:24
      +1

      Haven't noticed any flicker when filming random stuff around the house while using these.

      • Dubious speculation on 23/07/2020 - 10:28

        Noice. That's good to hear, what shutter speed and frame rate have you filmed it at?

          …default haha. Couldn't tell you mate.

  • pdtmathieson on 23/07/2020 - 10:25

    Got the four pack ages ago, the lights occasionally do play up but a 'reset' using the wall switch gets them back on track. Very happy with them so far.

    Anyone have any idea how long the globes themselves last?

  • Javin on 23/07/2020 - 10:27

    Which type is better 10W RGB + CCT or 10W Ambient RGBW…need to buy some

    • Backslash on 23/07/2020 - 11:04

      The RGB+CCT Will be tunable cool/warm white plus RGB. The Ambient+RGB will be dimmable white + RGB I believe.

      • opposablethumbs on 23/07/2020 - 11:13

        CCT (Correlated colour temperature) means you can set the white colour temperature from cool to warm white by the temperature number (effectively a slider on whatever app you use to control it).

        I only have plain white temperature control lamps, but presume that the ambient + RGB means you can switch colour and dim, but not set white temperature.

        I needed some B22 lamps and just cancelled my order for a 4-pack of ambient + RGB as would prefer the CCT.

        As per another comment by me below, looks like Kogan have a new range of RGB + CCT coming (currently on presale for shipping Aug 18th).

        • tobinm on 23/07/2020 - 11:33

          Also according to specs the CCT has a lower lumen rating at 806lm vs the Ambient at 1050

          • opposablethumbs on 23/07/2020 - 11:47
            +2

            @tobinm: New RGB+CCT ones on pre-sale I've linked in comment below have following in Kogan description:

            1050 Lumens with 25,000-hour lifespan

            2700 – 6500K Temperature range

            • tobinm on 23/07/2020 - 11:58

              @opposablethumbs: ah yeah interesting, though when you go down to the specs it still says 806lm on those pre order ones? But I do see in the description it says 1050. Thanks for that, I might swap my order to CCT if they accept the cancellation.

              • opposablethumbs on 23/07/2020 - 12:16

                @tobinm: The plot thickens.

                Agreed, the specs for the new ones list 806 lumens, but the description says 1050.

                Manual doesn't have any specs listed.
                https://kogan-prod-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/files/usermanuals…

                Does have model no. in url, though Google search by model no. only leads you back to Kogan.

                I was able to cancel my ambient + RGB order pretty simply through the website. Will wait and see how long they take to process the refund.

                If you do take the plunge on the new RGB + CCT versions, please update us on true lumen rating +/- if OTA flashable with Tuya-convert once you get them.

                • tobinm on 23/07/2020 - 12:24
                  +1

                  @opposablethumbs: Looks like they accepted my cancellation pretty quick, but am also going to wait for the refund to properly process.

                  Will use the time to decide if I roll the dice with the new ones and will update if I do :)

                  • opposablethumbs on 23/07/2020 - 12:44

                    @tobinm: If you do a close up of the photo of the new RGB + CCT B22 lamp.

                    Lists model no. as KAB22RGBC1A

                    and what looks like 10W 806LM :-(

                    Edit:
                    and same for the new E27 RGB + CCT (KAE27RGBC1A)

                    • tobinm on 23/07/2020 - 13:23

                      @opposablethumbs: Nice find! Hmm I might hold off those ones then since my use is primarily for white and would prefer the higher LM. Who knows whats going on with their listing and the conflicting information, but it's enough to put me off.

                      Thanks very much for pointing that out.

        • Soothsayer on 23/07/2020 - 11:37

          CCT + 10W or higher is the ideal hardware spec for me, finally these bulbs are hitting the market at good pricing. RGB + W has been "good enough" in recent years to simulate a warm white but CCT is much better.

          Enough brightness for most small to medium size rooms with a single bulb. Hopefully the SW (app) is up to standard too, automating tuning the temperature for time of day through native app would complete the package for me.

        He means Home Assistant, which is an open source home control application. https://www.home-assistant.io/

        I too would like to know the answer. If it's a Tuya based bulb, then should work maybe?

        Edit: Ordered the 2 pack E27 bulbs. Should find out in a few days

        • tbgoose on 23/07/2020 - 11:08
          +1

          Yeah they're Tuya so require to use Tuya cloud or flash with esphome (haven't had luck with that). Smart switches are the same

          • JoelT on 23/07/2020 - 12:00

            @tbgoose: Ok thanks. Not an ideal setup, but it should work..

            • BOC14 on 23/07/2020 - 12:31

              @JoelT: Esphome IS the ideal set up 😊
              Haven't used these bulbs mind you

              • netsurfer on 23/07/2020 - 19:41
                +1

                @BOC14: Finding that Esphome is a fair amount of work. After using Tuya Convert, if things don't really work, I am not able to restore factory firmware to test whether it is the device or the firmware (keeps getting not enough space to flash the original firmware). Also, I can no longer put the device in flash mode. So, at Tuya Convert indicates, it is really a point of no return for me.

                Then, there is also newer revision of devices, which prevents conversion.

                While it stops devices from going to cloud, there is risk associated with going down that path so if you do want to do that, it is best to go with stores with good after sale service.

              • JoelT on 24/07/2020 - 11:42

                @BOC14: I have a special drawer for smart devices that I mean to flash the firmware of but never get round to it haha. Not super ideal. At least the Yeelights have a single switch in the app to allow local LAN control.

    • BryceAC on 23/07/2020 - 15:05

      I've got 4 of the RGB+CCT bulbs flashed with tasmota running with home assistant.

      The RGBW ones wouldn't be much different I'd assume.

    Looks like they might be clearing out old stock for a range of new models listed for presale (shipping Aug 18th).

    "Kogan SmarterHome™ 10W RGB + CCT Colour & Warm/Cool White Smart Bulb"

    $39.99 (free shipping) for 4 packs in either B22 or E27 is a pretty decent price.

    Would just want to make sure that the new range is still flashable with Tasmota before I'd commit to buying (sometimes updated models come with firmware that doesn't allow flashing firmware).

    If anyone has the smart plugs, do you know what the button does? Does it have a countdown timer you could activate by pressing a button? Or is it a simple On/Off switch?

    • SteveAndBelle on 23/07/2020 - 11:38

      If they're anything like the Arlec ones I bought from Bunnings last night (4 for $60, normal price) the button on those is used for a variety of things and has a multi-coloured backlight too. It can be used as a manual on/off switch but I also used it as part of the pairing/setup process. Not sure if it's functional for anything else post-setup though.
