Can I simply use this app to turn the bulb on and off?

Yes you can. I purchased the G7 Power Tahoe LED 15 Watt (100W) 1200. It does not seem very bright. You must make sure that you have the bluetooth turned on your cell phone. And be with range of the lights bluetooth signal. I really like this bulb at night so i can turn it off and on and adjust it from my phone. Only down fall is not very bright to read from! Try it out.

Chris, Yes you can. You can do this by just turning one or all at the same time.

Yes you can; before I open the door to the house, I turn the lights on with my iPhone

I don't think there is any way to do that. The remote is either on or off, and the amount of light is whatever your lamp is set on.Gary

No. You can purchase a separate sensor that will turn it on and off. I did this with a 10 watt light and it lights one end of my house quite well.

I believe you can. I wrote my review prematurely, within a day, this lamp stopped working completely. It may be the bulbs. I haven't had the time to even try to look at it. If you haven't already ordered this, I'd say save your money.

No. To turn it on and off, you'd either have to wire it into a manual switch or possibly, if you can find one, a remotely-operated power switch.

No, it can't. You can use it as a lamp at any time, but it will only gradually turn ON, not OFF. Sorry.

You can use the TCP app to program when the lights come on and how bright the lights can be. You can do it by the day and by different scenarios. I have 3 of these bulbs that I use as night lights and mood lighting. I can change the lights individually or as a set. The app takes some getting used to.If you plan to use these lights to emulate someone being home, that is very easy to do because you set the lights to come on at sundown and shut off at sun up. That is how I use them as night lights.I hope this helps.

i don't think so. i bought this with the intention of pairing it with a wemo switch and have th elights turn on and off as needed, but alas, when turned on, the lamps stay off.

No. The only way to simplify the on/off function would be to install an outlet attached to a light switch.

No. This type of bulb have an internal programing timer. It can only be controlled by a regular electrical wall switch.

Yes, you don't have to use the timer. You can switch it on and off like a typical lamp.

If that were possible, then it wouldn't work. Think of it as testing the unit every time you come home. Or perhaps you could find some sort of remote control for an electrical outlet, designed to turn a lamp on or off, and carry that with you to turn off power to the unit when you come home. But if there is such a thing, be sure it isn't using light for the control, like a TV remote does.

Yep. Unless you mean can you put a flourescent bulb in the little button switch on the cord. If that is what you are asking, no.

Yes.. Press the button on the lamp once to turn on/off. Press and hold to dim/brighten.

No. You can buy a remote that will control several of these. Or you can buy a controller that will allow you to control the outlet or mutilple outlets or switches with your smart phone or to set up lights to come on and turn off at certain times. There are also light switches that will replace an existing switch that you could also use to control this outlet. If you are just wanting one remote device, depending on what your planning to plug in, there are several different types of controller out there. Lowes sells a lamp switch with a remote.

You cannot use WiFi, it uses Bluetooth 3.0. The app is called "magic light" in the google play store. Simply download the app, go to the app, which should enable Bluetooth for you. It'll detect the lightbulb, then click the light bulb. Once connection is achieved, the bulb will be fully controllable via your smartphone.

I don't believe that you can do this using the Hue app. At least not on an iPad. You can set an alarm to turn them on and an alarm to turn them off. You also have timers that can turn on or off lights after a specific amount of time has elapsed, but no way that I can see to do this on a reccurring basis.
