Any experience with geeni/merkury smart bulbs?

They’re on sale today (2023-05-16) at Meh.com for $2/bulb. That’s a pretty good price but they would useless to me if that can’t be reflashed to eliminate reliance on the Internet (and provide better security.)

They’re Tuya based and some information I found searching for this indicated that they had to be opened up and wires soldered in order to reflash to something like Tasmota. For me that pretty much negates the benefit of the sale price.

Thanks!
