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

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.

These bulbs were super easy to get connected to my Echo hub, and they’ve been working perfectly ever since. The colors are bright and vibrant, and I like being able to adjust the white tones from warm to cool depending on the room. They respond quickly to voice commands and haven’t dropped connection once. I set a few scenes for movie nights and mornings, and it really changes the mood of the space. For the price and reliability, this 4-pack is a great deal.

These are the best smart lights you can buy, especially for the price. They are solid RGB Zigbee bulbs, act as Zigbee repeaters to improve your mesh network, are decently bright, have decent colors, AND are cheaper than any other Zigbee bulbs you can get. Seriously, these are an incredible value, less expensive than most single-color dimmable smart bulbs. I am using them with Home Assistant via ZHA and a Zigbee dongle. ThirdReality is a Works With Home Assistant partner, and these bulbs work perfectly with Home Assistant. They got a firmware update within the first day which went off without a hitch. Whites are good with a range from 2000 Kelvin (candlelight) to about 6500 Kelvin (cool daylight). Color reproduction is fairly good with bright, saturated colors; there are some imperfections with pure green seeming a little less saturated than some other bulbs and the hues being a bit shifted in the purple to magenta/red range, but otherwise they're great: most colors look nice and saturated and you can eke out the right color if you work a bit. I do wish the color reproduction were a bit more spot-on for the purples and magentas, though. If you use Home Assistant, don't hesitate; buy these bulbs! They're an incredible value from a company that cares and is actively supporting Home Assistant. You can't go wrong!

Excellent smart bulb from ThirdReality. Fully compatible with Home Assistant that supports both color temperature and xy modes with no issues. Setup was smooth, performance is reliable, and the price-to-value ratio is outstanding. I just ordered a second 4-pack. If I had to mention a downside, it’s only that I wish the bulbs were slightly brighter. Otherwise, highly recommended. min_color_temp_kelvin: 2202 max_color_temp_kelvin: 7042 min_mireds: 142 max_mireds: 454 supported_color_modes: color_temp, xy color_mode: color_temp brightness: 254 color_temp_kelvin: 2702 color_temp: 370 hs_color: 28.391, 65.659 rgb_color: 255, 167, 88 xy_color: 0.524, 0.388 off_with_transition: false off_brightness: null friendly_name: XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx supported_features: 40

I got a zigbee controller for Home Assistant just to try these things out. Zigbee itself is amazing. The pairing speed and mesh capabilities set this apart from earlier-generation smart lights. I ordered 20 of them, and within 30 minutes they were all paired, grouped and ready to rock. I was just plugging them in in a production line while the fam ran around and plugged them in. The colors aren't as good as high-end lights like Hue, but they're VERY good for the price. They're a little dimmer than a standard kitchen downlight if you're using them for that purpose, though my kitchen has 12 downlights so these things were a relief from the brightness. I've purchased more since then which is a good sign. After a month of use they've proven to be reliable. Only gotcha for people new to zigbee is that firmware updates take a LONG time, sometimes 20+ minutes but they all updated successfully.

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.

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.

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

Perhaps the best bang for buck zigbee RGB lights out there. The setup with Home Assistant and a third-party zigbee controller was an absolute breeze. The response is quick and the colors are bright and suits my needs. Not sure what else to say but these work as expected, and at about $10/bulb, probably the best bang smart bulbs on Amazon as well. No need for a specific app, nor do they clog up your wifi. I have 24 of these bulbs and have had no problems after 4 months of daily use.

No major issues. Joined it to zigbee network easily when in pair mode. Two notes: - when using strictly color the brightness is much lower compared to when using the normal lights with white and or white orange color. - No lighting effects work except color loop (which I think was added recently) - It'd be nice to have other effects working like breathing and quick blinking
