Smart Color Night Light

I purchased a two pack of these nights lights and am happy with their performance and features. With matter being such a new protocol, I had some issues using these in Apple home. I reached out to 3rd reality via email and here in the Amazon app. They were very responsive and helped me trouble shoot over the course of the week. Turns out, nothing was wrong with the product and it was an issue with my Apple home setup. I fixed this and the night lights started working. The one issue I have is the “occupancy” sensor. Due to this being an occupancy sensor, it does not trigger as quickly as a motion sensor would. Because of this there is a bit of a delay in triggering automations. Besides that, it works as intended. Overall, I’d give the product a 4/5 and customer service a 5/5

As a HomeKit user since pretty much the very beginning, I saw this neat accessory and I had to pick it up; 2 sensors and an RGB night light all in one for the price is a great deal. I did have some setup hassle, but I knew how to handle it. Please read carefully and I will tell you exactly how I got mine working! 1. When I opened the box, my home was still using the old HomeKit architecture, as I have an intel iMac that I didn’t want to update (for performance reasons). As it turns out, YOU NEED to be running the new home architecture. If you don’t, the device will successfully add to your home, but it will immediately become unresponsive. I decided to upgrade my home, I will use my other devices to control my home now… 2. The device ships with factory firmware. There is much better updated firmware. To install it, you need the 3R-Installer app by the manufacturer. You first need to add the device to that app BEFORE adding it to your Apple home. When you add it, you should see the firmware update. Say “Yes” to update the device. Once the firmware is updated, you need to remove it from the app, then reset the device by using a paperclip and inserting it into the hole on the side of the device while it is plugged in. THEN you can add it to your Apple Home with the new home architecture and it will work very smoothly. Here is the App Atore link to the correct app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/3r-installer/id6464381752 NOTE: If the device is power cycled, it will take a few minutes to come back online to your Apple Home. I found that this device took a little longer than my other ones to come back online, but it does eventually come back online. No need to reset the device with a paper clip for this. Overall, this IS in fact a good product, it does work. But it is a bit of a hassle setting it up. I hope this is helpful!

Nice gadget for my smart home, managed to add it to HomeKit and Tuya Smart no issues, the Motion sensor works great in the bathroom, as any Motion lamp you have to check for false positive triggers like curtains and moving objects when installing, adding different brightness and color automations depending on LUX and Occupancy is great, the light color is pastel-like.

I purchased two of these devices to be used as status lights. They constantly disconnect and need to be unplugged and powered back to reconnect. I have no issues with wifi or any other devices in my house. As typical practice, support recommends resetting the devices and using an IOT network which I have done. NOTHING HAS WORKED and its passed the return date. This device either has faulty hardware or half baked firmware...buyer beware.

When I bought this, I thought it was defective. I WAS WRONG! The only problem was me. I was trying to integrate this into Home Assistant. I was logged into HA as a regular user, not as an Admin. After correcting for my dumb, I got this operational. I have been fine tuning it's operation under HA for a little while. Remember, this is NOT a plug and play device. If you plug it in, it will NOT automatically turn on the light at night, at least under HA. You must use it's Motion detection, and LUX level, if you want, to the tell the light when to turn on or off. After getting it to work the way I wanted, I have also used it to also turn on a secondary light in the area, a bedroom, for more complete lighting. If you use this in a small to medium room, i.e. a bathroom, this light is plenty bright enough. I have never been a fan of turning on bright lights at night just to walk around. I just want enough light to avoid objects and anything a pet might move/leave for me. If you are automating your house, this Night Light is great!

It's a nightlight.... Not much to say about that! But the fact it integrated with my home assistant.... It makes it 100 times better

Works well, it’s too bad that the app doesn’t let you set the sensitivity of the motion sensor, but overall connects and functions well.

I can't begin to tell you how much I love this light. First, some negatives, it's expensive and bigger than I expected. But I had no problems adding it to my Home Assistant Matter Server (python-matter-server). I have the light outside my home office and I have custom automations in Home Assistant where I can "Arm" the sensor. When Armed, the light goes Red and when disarmed, Biue and when disarmed, it acts as a regular night light. I even got it to send an alert to my phone if people approach while Armed. Just a really cool device that you can script to your liking. Just got it so not sure about how long it'll last but really happy with the device! I wish I could get more but it's a bit pricey but oh well!

Easy setup via Matter to Homekit. The ThirdReality matter app was a bit troublesome to connect to the Smart Night Light, it worked the 7th time around. The device was updated via the ThirdReality matter app to the latest version. The Third Reality matter app doesn't have many features to customize the use of the Smart Night Light. There is another Third Reality app, not the matter app, and that app does not work with this device without a Home Hub from Third Reality or other. My intent with this night light was something "smart" that I could use for my toddler to use the washroom at night, as I figure if he sits on the toilet for more than 5-minutes this could send my phone an alarm that he might need help (usually he waits for me to help clean up or get down after he kicks away the stool). Given that it has both an occupancy sensor and light (lux) sensor, I expected it to function similar to a wall sensor where if natural light or another light is present (stronger lux) than the night light turns off, or if there is no occupancy, the sensor shuts off the light. I tried programming some of these to the Smart Night Light via Apple Home, however, the application of the Apple Home automations resulted in this being odd in its functionality, to summarize: - No occupancy, turn off light after 3 minutes results in the light turning off after 42 seconds and then taking 37 seconds minutes to turn back on. Yes I measured the time, same amount of time each occurrence. Very odd. - The occupancy sensor is super sensitive, and works really well at detecting occupancy and turning on when you have no "auto-off" automations. It just doesn't turn off on its own, and the Third Reality matter app has no ability to schedule an auto-off. - The lux sensor is great at telling you the brightness in the room, but doesn't seem to work with any further functionality. I setup some automations so that if the washroom light is on, or the sun is up (via window) the Smart Night Light should not turn on. It turned on anyways and turned off based on the occupancy automation, or not at all once that automation was removed. - The colours of the light can vary vastly, which is very cool. I have it setup in red during the evening so it's like a tactical night light. - The Smart Night Light can sync with HomePod to change colours when you play music, which is fun. The Smart Night Light has a lot of promise, but needs some more fine tuning from Third Reality. Some of the functionality could be overly improved (make this a 5/5 device) by simply giving tuning details for the user via either their Matter app or Apple Home - like if it detects occupancy, how long after should it turn off? How long after it turns off should it not turn on if it detects occupancy again (spoiler - it should turn on)? I'll continue to use it but it's a $70 night light that connects with HomeKit and tells me whether my kid is stuck on the toilet.

So the story goes that I have a currently 14-year-old cat that while not entirely going blind or anything, likes having company when she eats, and light too. It was getting ridiculous to turn on the living room so she could eat and I desperately wanted a night light that would switch in when detecting motion, and could stay in while she was in the vicinity. I also wanted smart features and colours. This night light brought it all. I’m only a few weeks in so far, but I’ll let you guys know how it goes! For the time being, both kitty and I are happy! And yes her eating has improved too!
