I used Singled bulbs (which don’t act as a hub) but Hue bulbs do this too. The bulbs become non-responsive after weeks or months (they might become non-responsive turned on or off – but they are stick in that state once it happens) – regardless of whether I pair them through ZHA or Z2QTT. I delete…

I’ve had pretty poor experience with Singled bulbs and I am down to just one in use, a E11-N14A. It will become non-responsive every week or two. At least power cycling it gets it back online. I’ve replaced the Singled bulbs with these low cost AliExpress bulbs and they have been performing well, I…

[image] LiQuid_cOOled: Can I ask what data you are basing this off? Mostly personal experience. Every “smart” bulb I’ve owned has failed in one way or another. But in most cases I can’t justify he use of a smart bulb when a smart in-wall switch does everything that a smart bulb can do. (Excep…
