Is there an API available for interacting with the bulb for DIY'ers? Or is the iphone app required?

Could I use more than five bulbs to hear one music clip from my mobile at the same time?

There are no API available for interacting with the phone. It comes with the iPhone and Android app.

I got this bulb and I have a android I could not get the app to get this bulb working. I had to buy a apple device to get it to work.

No remote, it just screws into a standard socket. You then can use a controller/software to dim the bulb. I use my iPad to control it.

Sorry. I control the light from my iPhone not the garage remote. I have a gateway for both the garage door and light. Instructions are on line.

No. This is a device that you plug lamps/electrical devices into and press a manual button for on/off. It's not programmable. Choose another device if you want something smart phone programmable.

Ray. The short answer is no. Either the INSTEON HUB or the SmartLinc web controller would be required for web access to the bulb. The app requiresan actual web controller to link to. You would need either: http://www.smarthome.com/2242-222/INSTEON-Hub/p.aspxor http://www.smarthome.com/2412N/SmartLinc-INSTEON-Central-Controller/p.aspxto gain that web access.

With a PC? That I don't know. I know this bulb works great with my iphone. The music is played through the Lumen app

I now see on my Android device a app called 'LED Magic Color Controller'....I personally do not have the bulb to test out if this is legit, but I'm only posting the name in case someone can test this out and reply back to see if I am right or wrong (let's hope I'm right...lol)

No, you need a 30 pin to lighting pin adaptor. Sold at the Apple Store and elsewhere.

There is a small leaflet that gives only vague directions for installation, but a little study and experimentation worked for me to justify it's low purchase price. Beware there is a normally off/normally on junction clip that you can repositioned on the photoelectric side having 4 connection sites to have it work for you. Also, the bulb diffuser can be pulled off the bulbs to decrease sensitivity if necessary (when sender and receiver are too close to each other).

The lightbulb isn't battery powered. If you have it in a lamp, it must be plugged in and turned in the on position for the light bulb to be able to sync to your phone (if iPhone you need at least an iPhone4s to work).

I haven't looked into that yet, but intend to, as I was unable to find an LED bulb for the light, other than 25w. It is very cumbersome to change bulbs on the light!

Yes. The manual lamp switch is still an option - but why? :) I love being able to use my iPad to turn the lamp on and off.

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.

In short, no. You must be connected to your home network (directly or through VPN)You can also attempt to control through port forwarding or use of a home server... but that's more work that you probably want to do.Even if you do find a way to control beyond the walls of your home, you have no guarantee that the bulb is responding correctly. Since the app is intermittent at best, you'd be controlling your light 'blind' and have no feedback to tell you whether the bulb received and responded to the remote command.

It takes a 60 watt bulb. If you used a LED it would not work on low, med, and hi. touch dimmer.
