I hate using The Big Light™, but I can’t always have my room dark. My led strip that is up in the corner of the ceiling just died, so I’m looking for replacements. I’m not opposed to another one, I’m just curious what all else there is. thanks

edit: I might actually just replace my big light bulbs with hue bulbs or something (though those are mad expensive)

    Good luck. I’ve had issues finding non-cloud smart bulbs/plugs. These came from Ali with Tasmota pre-installed. Haven’t looked for a couple of years, so hopefully the non-cloud options are easier to source these days.

    I think Hue or ones that use Zigbee are viable. !homeassistant@lemmy.world may be able to offer some suggestions.

      A lot of the Chinese smart bulbs can be controlled through Home Assistant. The ones that are almost universally unsupported are the Feit Electric brand.
