I have a router in the bottom floor and I want to use the bulbs in my room that is in the upper floor AND the use a few bulbs in the bottom floor-how?

Let me start off by saying I'm not entirely sure if the range will work through the floor. I do know the bulbs talk to each other, and can pass the signal. So id assume it would work if your regular wifi makes the distance through the floor. Hope that helps. You can always return if not. They are decently bright and fun to mess with colors.

The system is a dasiy chain, floor level matters less than radio signal distance to the next bulb as long as the bulbs are within range of a working bulb u will be fine

My lights are both upstairs and downstairs on opposite end from the router. The bridge finds the bulbs wirelessly after you turn the lights on.

You can use the same remote for both, its basically an IR emitter and the bulb looks for a certain ir blink pattern, the control patterns are the same for both bulbs

Not that I'm aware of. It doesn't seem to be an included feature, nor do the bulbs have an advertised api, which would enable a more do it yourself approach.

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.

Slide them into the slot where the light bulb would go. There are two contacts, one on each side, polarity does not matter, so you don't need to know +/-.

Yes, you could use a regulars bulbs "yellow light", I am using a regular fluorescent "white light".

Yes, if you have dimmer switches for the particular light fixture(s) in which you will use the bulbs. I have mine on dimmers.

It would have to be a very small living room. I purchased several types of LED bulbs with this type of socket, to be used in a 4-light ceiling fixture. None of them provided a satisfactory level of lighting in an approximately 12x12 ft room. Perhaps a couple of track lights that size.

The only way that you could do that is to wire an outlet that was controlled by the switches. You also would not be able to use florescent bulbs in the lamp.

Hi, I'm not an electrician but my recollection in purchasing and installing ours was that you had to purchase a pair of matching switch and receiver. Before installing I know the electrician had to set some codes for the radio frequency transmitters to match. If a switch in one room matches a light with receiver in another room that should work. But if what you're asking is whether a switch in Room A will operate lights with receivers in Rooms A and B I don't know. We have dedicated switches for each room. They're not inexpensive so it's best to check with an electrician.

Easy, just make sure you follow instructions for setting the switch on remote for the type of bulbs you will be using. 3 speeds plus off.

The router/controller that you get with a starter pack ( is attached to your wifi router) allows you to use as many devices that you want to control the individual bulbs. Once each bulb is registered with the "hub" it can be controlled by as many devices as you desire.

Use MR16 bulbs, halogen. Available with some shopping, cheaply at amazon or 1000 bulbs.

Yes, you can set up profiles that will vary the on/off times by day of the week at the individual bulb level or for a room with multiple bulbs. The iphone/android app is pretty well laid out and easy to use.

Can I use two of these wireless routers in my home. One for upstairs and one downstairs for better performance?

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).

I don't see any reason you cannot. When you use the socket, the connection to your light bulb is not GU24 anymore.
