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 use both Sengled and Innr bulbs with zha. Mqtt worked well with these also.
No issues from the few models I have from both. Innr has a decently bright tone controllable bulb, 270 series I think, easily the brightest I have. 260 series are bright enough and super cheap at about $7.50 each in packs.
Chiming in to let people know that SengLED bulbs do not act as repeaters and are thus the worst bulbs you can use to build a Zigbee network.
