Paul Chambers🚧<a href="https://mastodon.online/@Mumonkan" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@Mumonkan</a> My <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/sengLED" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sengLED</a> lights did its nightly routine a little bit ago. Shocked us a little cause we weren't expecting them to. I opened the app and all but two wifi bulbs were online. Turned them off and back on and they connected and worked.Might want to check yours now...

Paul Chambers🚧<a href="https://writing.exchange/@ernie" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@ernie</a>, hate to cold @ you, but, are you following this <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/sengLED" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sengLED</a> smart light bulb fiasco? No one seems to be writing about it. Not the tech publications that promote sengled... no one. It's been days and people can't get their lightbulbs to work, esp if they were dimmed at night when they stopped working.After a bunch of complaints to their main seller, <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Amazon</a>, Amazon finally released a statement to people that have them linked to one of their appliances. I suspect Amazon just wants to stop fielding calls about them, although they are still selling products that can't work now or be setup. <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/GoogleHome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GoogleHome</a> <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/iot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#iot</a> <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/Alexa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Alexa</a> <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/homeAutomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#homeAutomation</a> <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#google</a> <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/home" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#home</a> <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/smarthome/comments/1lezw4w/anyone_have_issues_with_sengled_lightbulbs_not" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.reddit.com/r/smarthome/comments/1lezw4w/anyone_have_issues_with_sengled_lightbulbs_not</a>/r/SengledUS is covering it, also <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/SengledUS" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.reddit.com/r/SengledUS</a>

Paul Chambers🚧<a href="https://mastodon.online/@Mumonkan" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@Mumonkan</a> I know the trade war has left them unable to pay 1000 Chinese employees there and there is a big protest about it." Employees at Sengled Optoelectronics say the company has failed to pay their wages for three consecutive months, which prompted protesters to march to the local town hall to demand a resolution on April 29.A Sengled employee confirmed the protest in a telephone interview with The Epoch Times on April 30. “Over a thousand of us went to the town hall to protest,” the worker said. “Employees’ wages haven’t been paid for half a year.”“Over a dozen people were arrested,” he said. "The company owes wages to over 1,000 full-time workers. We are all entitled to full benefits—pensions, retirement funds, unemployment insurance. The amount they owe is huge, but they haven’t given us any explanation."The worker said that the factory owner owes the government a great deal of money and the “factory should’ve shut down long ago.”Supposedly there are youtube videos about it, too. <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/sengled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sengled</a> <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/smartlightbulb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#smartlightbulb</a> <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tech</a> <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/home" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#home</a> <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/AmazonEcho" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AmazonEcho</a> <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/GoogleHome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GoogleHome</a> <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/alexa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#alexa</a> <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/HomeAutomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HomeAutomation</a><a href="https://www.ntd.com/us-tariffs-trade-war-push-workers-to-protest-in-china_1065961.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.ntd.com/us-tariffs-trade-war-push-workers-to-protest-in-china_1065961.html</a>

Paul Chambers🚧Anyone else having issues with Sengled lightbulbs. They seem to be having server issues for the last 20 or so hours and we're having to turn the lights on and off like it was 2015 again.

Nowhere ManI was gifted some <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Sengled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sengled</a> smart light bulbs. Installed the iOS app to set them up and it refuses to complete the discovery step without granting it access to my precise location. So they're going in the "donate to charity" pile. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#privacy</a>

mellofoneOne of my first Ecolink zwave contact sensors finally bit the dust. I have a bunch as my very first <a class="hashtag" href="https://oddprocess.social/tag/smarthome" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SmartHome</a> devices. Back in 2015! Not bad at all for a $30 sensor. I'm replacing them with <a class="hashtag" href="https://oddprocess.social/tag/sengled" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sengled</a> Zigbee sensors instead. I seem to have much better luck with Zigbee.

🍄🌈🎮💻🚲🥓🎃💀🏴🛻🇺🇸I found some used <a href="https://mas.to/tags/PhillipsHue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PhillipsHue</a> 75W bulbs on Amazon for about $30 a piece but they got cancelled 😓I just want some durable <a href="https://mas.to/tags/zigbee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#zigbee</a> bulbs that don't cost as much as a AAA video game on launch day!Nearly all my <a href="https://mas.to/tags/sengled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sengled</a> bulbs have burnt out, so I thought I'd just buy name brand but FFS <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Phillips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Phillips</a>; $170 for four 75W bulbs!? I own cheaper TVs!

Wesley Oman (he/him)<a href="https://intahnet.co.uk/@mhamzahkhan" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@mhamzahkhan</a> The ones I bought are from <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Sengled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sengled</a> and yes they say they do on the box. I haven't installed any yet and honestly don't have my <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> set up to give me much information about that (I got half way through a tutorial and never finished).
