works very well , I used several different ones , I love my gadgets and this one is the easiest to connect and it stays connected , the instructions are easy to understand and follow , Plug in , download the app , put in your WiFi code and connect , its easy to connect to google home to , go in to google home , download the right connection and away you go , I have mine connected to our living room lamp , which is perfect for me when i have my hands full and need light but cant really move at the time , all i have to do ask google to turn on the lamp and hey presto , just like that i have light , brilliant .
