I realized I have some old hue bulbs laying around, and they’re working well enough with my Zigbee controller (no bridge), but if I decide to scale up I definitely don’t want to pay the Hue premium.

Anyone have a Zigbee bulb brand they recommend? I hear Third Reality is nice?

    I justcwant to add that the Hue bulbs are also compatible to Home Assistant. (I’m currently using it with the ‘default’ ZHA which doesn’t work with some China sensors and actors. AfaIk, Zigbe2MQTT would do.)

      I’ve got several Hue bulbs running through Zigbee2MQTT on HA.

      No issues, easy setup, and annoyingly expensive but they have the temperature range my wife prefers.
