For those of you in the UK, IKEA currently has a steep discount on their GU10 bulbs. I’ve just picked up several dimmable, colour temperature controlled bulbs for £5 each.
They play nicely with HA via a sonoff dongle and ZigBee2MQTT, even down to firmware updates.
Ikea makes some of the best smart home stuff IMO. Really well built, decently priced and no stupid lock in or cloud only stuff.
Every single bulb in my home is from IKEA and i was really happy with how easily they are to be integrated.
Sadly they aren’t repeaters for the regular zigbee network, only for other IKEA devices.
Bulbs don’t usually work well as repeaters anyway. Their smart plugs tend to work well, although I wish they had power monitoring support.
The aqara plugs do have power monitoring but afaik it’s borked with ZHA unless you write your own quirks file…
Better than that, if you are after more than one (and with GU10s, who isn’t?)
This gives you 3 bulbs and a handy remote that also works with HA.
Still €10 in Sweden :/
Det är en skandal!
Even € 15 in the Netherlands. :(
