I’ve got a bunch of smart devices that I love, but my Sylvania Smart Bulbs have been frustrating. Picked them up at Dollarama in Canada, and I was pretty hyped to see smart bulbs for $2. But man, they’ve been a pain and honestly not even worth the couple of bucks.

My Hue bulbs? Flawless for years. These Sylvania ones? They fail like 50% of the time. The only thing they’re decent at is remembering their last setting after being turned off, so I use a few in my vivariums where I need blue lights. But let’s be real, they’re basically dumb bulbs now.

What’s your most frustrating smart device?
