These are the outdoor string lights that I have and they are awesome! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072L11FJ6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_983ZR5CVRAQ0DEA9WGN1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 They are warm white, R ,G, B LEDs and you can change the color using a remote that comes in the package. They also have pre designated color combinations which correspond to different holidays like Christmas, fourth of July, etc. And you can also pick your own 2 color combination using the remote. Let me tell you that they are absolutely shatter proof, water proof, and can handle extreme weather as well. I love in Texas and in the summer it gets up above 100°F and this year we also had a bad ice storm that force everything for a week and the lights are still standing and fully functional. So I use these lights for the patio and in order to be able to turn them on or off from my smart app, I use an outdoor rated wifi switch that I plug the lights into. So I'll set them to whatever color I want using the remote in the package and I turn them on or off using the smart switch. (and they remember the last state they were in) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07M6RS2LC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_dl_YXH70TKZ18TNG9BT4JSA?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Answer from sirpadawanpants on reddit.com

The reviews are so mixed. Do you own a tried and true product?

I'll find something with 4+ Stars, long warranties, exactly what I want at a steep price so I certainly hope the quality matches.... but then I read recent reviews and people complain about bulbs dying a month or two later.

Sure there's a warranty, but I'm not looking to put them up every couple months.

Is the technology just not there yet?

UPDATE: SEPTEMBER 2024

In April 2023, I got 'dumb' Eco Scape Shatterproof Cafe Lights that I hooked up to a Smart outdoor outlet to still be able to automate them.

Then in August 2023, I added some 'Smart' Eco Scape Shatterproof Cafe string lights (powered by Enbrighten) so I would be able to connect the two.

So far so good for both! We have 4-seasons here; they withstood winter, being taken down and put back up for a roof replacement, and due to a lazy mistake made reinstalling, they fell hard about 8 feet on the concrete below and are totally fine. Aside from the brief period of being down for the roof, they've been used every single night since the installs for minimally 3 hours.
