Holman RGB Wi-Fi Garden Light Controller Review: Now With Voice Control
Previously, I reviewed the Holman Garden Spotlight Starter Kit — and I really liked it. The setup was easy, the design was sleek, and it just worked.
But...
There was one feature missing.
One deal-breaking feature.
At least, for anyone who wanted to integrate with their smart home setup or control their outdoor lights with their voice.
(And honestly, who doesn’t want that?)
The Feature That Was Missing
In my previous Holman review, I called it the “next feature I’d add.”
Looks like Holman read it (kidding… sort of), because they went ahead and added it:
✅ Smart Speaker Integration: Alexa, Google & Siri
Holman has added support for the big three smart speakers. Thanks to the new Wi-Fi-enabled controller, you can now integrate your garden lights with:
- Alexa
- Google Assistant
- Siri (via Apple Shortcuts)

What Does This Change?
Now, in addition to the Holman Home app, you can:
- Control lights with your voice
- “Alexa, turn on the garden lights.”
- “OK Google, set the garden lights to red.”
- Integrate them into smart routines
- E.g. “Movie night” dims the inside lights, turns on the outdoor TV, and lights up the garden.
What Else Has Changed?
Not much — and that’s a good thing.
For full setup instructions and an overview of the hardware, check out the original spotlight kit review.
But here’s the summary:
Setup & Configuration
Physical setup is foolproof thanks to Holman’s unique connector system:
Each connector only fits one way, so you can’t mess it up.
Digital setup is just as simple — clear instructions are printed inside the controller cover. Follow them, and you’re good to go.

Should You Buy the Holman RGB Wi-Fi Garden Controller?
In my last review, I said “yes, but…”
This time, it’s just a yes.
✅ Price is fair
✅ Setup is easy
✅ It just works
I say:
“Alexa, turn on the Holman garden lights” — they turn on.
“Alexa, set the lights to red” — they go red.
Simple. Seamless. Smart.
