I have a houseful of Kasa Smart light bulbs (both color and only white) and have been very pleased with their performance and ease of use. NOTE: I didn't rate the "Alexa" integration as I have Google Home devices linked at home and these bulbs work perfectly with Google.
Setup is a breeze with the Kasa app available in the Google Play and iPhone stores. Turn the light on initially and it blinks 3 times indicating it's ready. Simply follow the on-screen instructions to connect to your home wi-fi.
The app allows you to control the bulb with millions of color shades, you can also created schedules for on and off (complete with instant or gradual on and off), and you can choose presets for percentage of brightness and color temperatures.
Integration with Google home is seamless. Simply open the Google Home app and "add" a device. The bulbs will show up with no room assignments. Simply follow the Google prompts and add the bulbs to a room in your home.
Some of the Kasa bulbs I have are well over 3 years old and still perform as well as when they were taken out of the box.
Sure, you can get cheaper Chinese knockoffs, but I don't think anything beats the quality of the Kasa Smart brand (which is made by TP-Link which is a wi-fi company that has been in business for decades).
I highly recommend this line of bulbs and switches. They always perform consistently.
