The short answer
Wi-Fi smart bulbs and smart plugs compared on brightness, colours, app and Alexa or Google support. We researched 3 models sold on Amazon.in and put each one in one of two piles: buy it, or skip it (with a few “consider” calls where it depends on you).
How the buy-or-skip call is made
We read spec sheets, manuals and warranty terms, check the service network in India and track the usual Amazon.in price. A product earns “Buy” only if we would recommend it to a friend at that price. No brand pays for a place on this list.
Check these before you buy
- Brightness: 9 W (about 800 lumens) replaces a standard bulb.
- Compatibility: check Alexa and Google Assistant support for voice control.
- Wi-Fi: most smart bulbs need 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.
India-specific tip
Smart plugs are the cheapest way to automate a geyser, cooler or water pump; choose a 16 A plug for heavy appliances. The full checklist is in our smart bulbs and plugs buying guide.
