Twinkly Music, Sound Sensor for LED Lights, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Sensor to Sync with Music and Smart Lights via App, USB Power, Black

works well. Has a decent microphone and can pick up the music and match the beat pretty well.

The media could not be loaded. The color options for the light settings are great. It’s very sensitive to the sound. It’s easy to install and get it connected. All you do is plug it into any USB port and pair it with twinkly gen 2 lights! Super easy to connect!

Plugged the unit in and paired it with no issue. It’s fun to watch the leds interact with music or even random sound in the room. Very easy to use.

The media could not be loaded. This transformed my Twinkly set up and now my deck feels like a night club. My only complaint is the lack of functionality through the app. Why do I have to use the button to switch programs, and why can’t I create my own additional effects. This should be more robust.

Trying to connect this device to a modern mesh Wi-Fi network is an exercise in futility. It just won't work if the mesh network combines 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks into one SSID (network name). This is a problem known in late 2017 by IOT device manufacturers and should not be an issue in late 2021 - but here we are with chipsets and software that still do not work correctly with modern mesh systems.I had to get an 8 year old Netgear router out of the closet, turn off 5 GHz, hook it up downstream from the mesh system and close to where the Twinkly music was going to be deployed. Even then, after multiple factory resets, the Twinkly would just not join the network using the standard method (connecting to the device using bluetooth from your phone, then providing the network credentials via the app over bluetooth). I have a 25 character network password and perhaps the firmware doesn't like it when transferred via bluetooth. I finally had to re-enable the deprecated and insecure WPS on the router and use that alternate to connect.After all that? It works great. It just needs a better, modern, Wi-Fi chipset and firmware.One other thing to be aware of is that the development of the app and firmware is quite out of sync with the documents you find on the web site. For example the web site goes into detail about music "drivers" such as "VU Meter" etc. and how to select them and what they are. These don't seem to exist anymore and a simpler (but less useful) selection of things like "dance", "pop", "Classical", etc. has replaced it. But the documentation does not mention this at all so development and documentation are well out of sync. It would be good to have the dev team be required to update documentation in sync with releases.Once you have it setup, this is a fun device.

Not this is just the sound sensor you need to buy twinkly lights to go with it.Awesome, I love my flights plays to music it just makes me happy

The media could not be loaded. Everything worked until I added this defective MUSIC to my inventory. The one I got has no mic so it can’t tell if there’s any sound or not. It also needs to be reset every few hours (deleted and re-connected) otherwise it makes everything lose its pattern.Tech support is horrific.I’ve spent THOUSANDS on Twinkly products this month and it requires a few hours of daily maintenance otherwise nothing works properly. (We have over 600gbps wifi - we had to add 3 WAPs to support Twinkly and still nothing but errors)Firmware updates come out and cause HOURS of grueling updating.If you install these products make sure all of your plugs and reset buttons are extremely accessible. I had ours installed and some of them are on my roof. Every 2 days I’m having to go on the roof and hold the button for 5 seconds to reconnect them. It’s miserable.The music feature never worked for us so I can’t comment. All of the music patterns are basic, and you can’t customize them. Nothing is “holiday themed” only bright colors. Nothing changes to the beat, it just changes on a timed pattern (with or without music)

Great upgrade for twinkly lights system ... highly recommend
