I just installed Home Assistant on a RaspPi 3B today. I got it set up successfully, but not all of my devices were discovered by the AI. I have Feit Electric and Geeni bulbs in my house. I was wondering if these devices will be integrated into HA at some point. I would like to get these added so I don’t have to replace them with something else. Thanks in advance.
Welcome.
Models of the devices or links to their specifications would be a large help I know Feit makes all kinds of bulbs, may with no smart capabilities.

Hello and welcome.
Searching the forum is always a good idea. Here are two results I found that may assist you:
Hello Somethingfunny! I can happily tell you that Geeni gets it’s API authentication from Tuya Smart. If you switch all of your devices from the Geeni App to Tuya, you can then add the Tuya Component into your config and boom let there be lights.
I have 7 Merkury/Geeni Lights and a switch. It works perfectly.
I hope this helps.
I picked up a pair yesterday, and managed to get them to work with home assistant without too much difficulty, though there were some ‘hiccups’ I have yet to fully understand/explain.
The Feit wifi bulbs are built on the Tuya platform, so they can be added to home assistant through the Tuya component . As per recent discussions (for instance, this one ), I had to specify the platform on which I created an account (either Smart Life or Tuya) to get it to work.
A few further wrinkles I experienced…
