They listed a lot of smart bulb manufacturers whose bulbs work with this command. I use TP-Link bulbs and this was one feature that had been missing with Alexa control, so I'm happy to finally have the color control.

Unrelated to the color control, I think I use the smart bulb Alexa control more often than all the other Alexa voice controls/questions. It is really nice to be able to have her turn on a lamp at low light level when I need to get up in the middle of the night, especially since the switch is not near the bed.
You can always check for new features by going to:
