THIRDREALITY Zigbee ZL1 Smart Color Bulb, 4 Pack, Zigbee Cube Required, Compatible with Home Assistant, SmartThings, Aeotec, Home, Hubitat or Echo Devices with

These Zigbee RGB bulbs do what they’re supposed to and do it well. I run them using Zigbee2MQTT on Home Assistant, and setup was seamless—no app required, no Wi-Fi congestion, just fast pairing and reliable performance. They’re from Third Reality, a brand I really love and use extensively across my smart home. These bulbs are bright, responsive, and offer excellent value. After months of daily use, I’ve had zero issues. If you want dependable Zigbee lighting, this is a solid pick.

I was a pretty early adopter when it came to smart home stuff. My first devices were some zigbee bulbs and a Wink hub (remember them?). Then I migrated to SmartThings before Samsung ruined that platform. Over time I have seen the ups and downs of the industry....and eventually migrated to Home Assistant as my primary control hub in 2016. Hard to believe I've been using it for about a decade now. So now I use a Minisforum MS-01 running Proxmox as my hypervisor. Home Assistant runs as a VM (HAOS) and my zigbee connection is via a SLZB-06 over PoE and interpretted by Z2M (I tried ZHA for years and always had issues with devices not exposing all of the entities properly). Maybe it's because all of my bulbs are nearing 10+ years old but I'm finding that a lot of my smart bulbs are dying. Either becoming unreliable, disconnecting frequently, or flickering. Most of them were old super heavy GE/Wink bulbs, a few CREE, Sylvania, etc. So it was time to invest in some new bulbs. Plus I accidentally bought a ton of the Segled zigbee bulbs not realizing they don't act as repeaters to strengthen my zigbee mesh. So I have since retired all of those. I checked around online and it seems like the industry is mostly wifi bulbs that are going to be cloud dependent which I am not ok with....or matter over wifi which I don't want slowing down my entire wifi network....or matter over thread which I don't have any experience with yet and no devices to create a strong mesh with....or bluetooth, which just....no. Of the few good zigbee options out there I know Hue bulbs are fine, but way over priced and can be challenging to reset and pair without a Hue hub....Sengled, which we already covered....and ThirdReality. I was really excited to see this set of reasonably priced RGB bulbs readily available from a trusted brand. I have several other ThirdReality devices from vibration sensors to door sensors and a weird RF motion sensor. They have been super reliable, so I figured these bulbs would be worth a shot. I am really glad I tried them out. So far they have been rock solid after updating to the 1.00.74 firmware. The colors are nicely saturated and relatively accurate. The tunable white is really nice (as most of my old bulbs were just warm white). I like having the ability to have the time of day dictate the color temperature of the bulbs. I REALLY like the nice default on/off transition that is not just a sharp on/off but more like a half second of fade in / out. My ceiling fans require 2 bulbs per fan and my old bulbs always had a tiny but noticeable delay between them turning on even when combined into a zigbee group. These bulbs both turn on at the same exact moment which helps ease my OCD. In any case, so far these are my favorite zigbee RGB bulbs. One thing to prepare yourselves for is how incredibly light they are. I guess I'm used to the old LED bulbs with heavy heatsyncs. These bulbs don't get anywhere near as hot, so hopefully they'll last even longer. I am attaching a video here to show some of the colors but my phone's camera doesn't do a great job with the exposure. The colors are much more saturated than they appear which you can tell from the reflection on the spinning fan blades.

Muy buenos. Se integran sin temas con Home Assistant via Zigbee2MQTT (me imagino que via ZHA sería igual), y sirven de repetidores reforzando la red Zigbee. Compré más.

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.

El producto dice que es compatible con Zigbee y no he podido conectarlo con un Tuya Zigbee Hub 3.0, no encuentro soporte.
