I’m completely out of the smart lights loop and I’m looking for light bulbs that allow me to set brightness, color temperature and possibly the color in general using HA.

I see a lot of people recommending zigbee bulbs, which is fine, I just need to buy a dongle, but I already have an isolated wifi network with no internet access that I use to control smart stuff from my home server, so something with wifi would be ideal. I want something that I can just screw in and control from my server with no proprietary apps needed for the initial configuration.

Can you give me some recommendations?

Thanks

    Trying to build a Thread network today is a waste of money, sadly. There’s not enough competition there and prices are much worse than Zigbee,

      Ikea’s line of matter bulbs and devices are showing up in stores now.

      Good quality firmware and electronics at close to aliexpress prices.

      Yeah, it’s not really built out yet. Zigbee is good enough, thread is supposed to make it better but I’m good with what I’ve got in hue - for now at least.

      Isn’t IKEA’s new line thread?
