The bulb is connected to a "bridge" that connects the device to the internet. The setup is completed after you connect your device to the wi-fi router or with a LAN cable. The bulb's color and brightness can be controlled using an app, but there is a preset, so just tap on it to get the nice lighting. To connect with Twitter connect to the app called If This Then That (IFTTT).
