THIRDREALITY Zigbee Smart Color Bulb ZL1 4Pack,Compatible with Home Assistant(ZHA&Z2M), SmartThings,Aeotec,Homey,Hubitat or Echo Devices With Built-in Hub,A19 RGBCW Bulb,2700K-6500K Tunable,800 Lumens

This is my first Third Reality purchase, and I am very happy to have given them a try. I run Home Assistant, and zigbee via Z2M, and this product has been 100% reliable and flawless for about a month now. The product even got firmware updates via home assistant, so I couldn’t be happier.Color quality and brightness are excellent, and control via HA is immediate. I didn’t have any brightness issues that were noted in other reviews, but maybe this was corrected via firmware update before my purchase. They’re functioning as zigbee routers, and have end point devices connecting to them (Aqara sensors) perfectly.I have previously purchased Hue brand lights, and while I’ll still purchase Hue in the future for some lights, these Third Reality lights will replace any future A19 bulbs I need. Highly recommended!

Best LED A19 bulbs I've used. These bulbs pair faster than you can name them, they respond instantly, they don't bounce due to state latency on `turn_off`, they work perfectly with Home Assistant ZHA or Z2M, they do an excellent job in their Zigbee router role, and they make beautiful light. They've rescued our fancy lighting from NanoLeaf-Matter-Thread failures and made life simpler. I can't rate bulb lifespan/durability yet, but many Third Reality smart plugs and several soil, T/H, and other sensors have worked perfectly in my home over a long period and 3R's support for real local control stands out among smart home device makers.

These work great as zigbee routers, but the LED colors are not the best. Feel a little dim and washed out.

These bulbs seamlessly connected to my SmartThings hub, making the setup process incredibly smooth. Pairing them was straightforward and hassle-free, as they integrated with the hub almost instantly. Once connected, they performed exactly as I had hoped, delivering reliable functionality without any glitches or complicated adjustments.I was impressed by how intuitive the process was, even for someone who might not be tech-savvy. The bulbs responded perfectly to commands from the app, allowing me to customize settings such as brightness levels and scheduling with ease. Their compatibility with SmartThings means I can conveniently control them alongside my other smart devices, creating a cohesive and efficient system for managing my home. Overall, these bulbs exceeded my expectations with their simplicity and dependability, adding a significant level of convenience to my setup.

It works very well after adding them to my Sonoff iHost hub and in Home Assistant with the dongle as well. In both cases, they allow you to control brightness, white color temperature, and switch to other colors in the spectrum.

These bulbs paired with Alexa but they would not pair with a third party Zigbee hub. My Zigbee hub has paired with other manufacturers bulbs with no problem, and paired easily with the bulbs I bought to replace the Thirdreality bulbs.

Edit: THIRDREALITY just pushed an update that fixes the brightness issues, changed to 5 stars!So far these are great Zigbee bulbs and are now supported in the latest version of Zigbee2MQTT.The color seems good, nice and bright and very responsive. Here's the but, no mater what setting I use in my Home Assistant automation they will not turn on if you include brightness in the automation.I'm trying to set them as normal white bulbs during the day and then based on motion at night turn on red at 10% brightness. I know the automation works as I've tried it with Hue and Yeelight bulbs with no issue.Another thing I realized is I have the bulbs pushed through a HomeKit bridge so I can use voice commands on a HomePod.When I tell Siri to "turn on the lamp 20 percent" it will not turn on. Then the I next time tell Siri to "turn on the lamp" it comes on at 20 percent. I have tried with different brightness and it's the same. If I add the brightness level to the voice command it does not turn on and the next time I tell it to turn on it will be at the last brightness level I told it when it didn't come on.And to make things even weirder, If I tell Siri to "turn on the lamp blue", it comes on blue (really works with any color) but if I tell Siri to "turn on the lamp 20 percent" (or any brightness level) it doesn't work like before but now if the next time I try to turn it on I say "turn on the lamp blue" it won't come on until I say "turn on the lamp" then it comes on and the brightness level (from 2 commands ago) and blue.I tested saying a brightness level (doesn't work) and then "turn on the lamp blue" (doesn't work) then another color (doesn't work), I tried like 4 different colors in a row and it will not come back on until I just say "turn on the lamp" then it comes on set to the last color I said. It will not turn back on after adding a brightness level unless I use the basic "turn on the lamp" command.I might be sending these back, great price but these limitations are a deal breaker.

Liked how easy these were to pair, fairly responsive, and dimming does work.My biggest issue is these are just dim. They don’t add much light at all, and the “white” color profiles are much more yellow than white. These are fine if you want some dim ambiance color in a room, but I know now to just invest in the name brand bulbs
