I typically avoid anything smart, but given practicality, I’m looking for general tips or recommendations for smart bulbs?
I have just started self-hosting home-assistant, and would prefer ones which integrate well with that.
What should I look out for when buying them? Any brands to avoid? Any cybersecurity concerns you’ve come across? Or should I avoid them altogether?
**Thanks everyone for the responses! I may not get back individually, but it’s a great point to jump in from


I use _WiZ Vintage Filament E27, 640 lm _ and WiZ Tunable White & Color (GU10, 345 lm).
Reason: They go quite dark (for cozy evening), have a very low color temperature but still the colors look relatively natural (didn’t find this with other models).
The app is good.
+1 for wiz
Works well with HA too
