And that’s working good for you? Found these at Walmart (online):
Wicked good deal, and if these are the same bulbs and I can load tasmota on them, that would save me a ton of money. Looking to buy about 40 of these, and I was looking at about $17 a piece for the TP-LINK color bulbs because I couldn’t find any better/cheaper wifi bulbs that work with home assistant. If these will work, then this will save me literally hundreds of $$$.
And you can’t change the white, only with the color portion of the bulb, and that looks to not be bright enough. I might pick up a couple and try them out,for the price, it’s worth a try to see how they do. I just want to be able to change the color temperature of the bulb. I am using circadian rhythm lighting current with some sengled element plus bulbs, and it works great, love how it changes with the light outside. Problem is, I am not sure sengled is making the element plus anymore, only their mulitcolored bulb. So instead of being like $15 or cheaper, I have to get the color one for $20+. I really like the sengled element plus bulbs, I just can’t find them anymore.
I found a 2 pack of the teckin bulbs on amazon for $23. That’s cheap as well, and look to be better than the merkury bulbs. I might have to pick up a couple of them as well and see which ones I like best.
Too bad these wyze bulbs are dependent on the cloud…
Yeah shame about the Wyze bulbs, annoying too if their servers go down, which they have been regularly.
The Geeni bulbs have white color (warm to cold) and are very bright (no RGB color) I got the BR30 and A19 ones / I can find a link if anyone is interested.
This worked great for a few days but I’ve since had access token issues (tried removing and re-adding the component with no luck). It’s great to finally have the option of controlling these things in HA and I can’t wait for the mentioned issue to be ironed out. Thank you for creating this!
@osmoen If you delete the wyzeconfig.ini from the config/ folder it will be able to work again. I have not yet made a way to automatically get it reconfigured but try that out!
Is there some setting I’m missing for default power-on state? I have 3 wyze bulbs with this integration and for some reason, every single time I restart home assistant the bulbs turn on. I’ve tried changing the settings in the wyze app itself, and confirmed I don’t have any sort of automation I forgot about that’s triggering them upon reset. Super annoying I can’t figure out why the bulbs are doing this.
