Plus, why add all that complexity and room for error and problems - and every additional connection creates that. I am curious to see if those issues wouldn’t happen with bulbs that don’t require a bridge and I’d likely lean toward Lifx. That said, I do have some issues with the Hue bulbs and I think they are bridge related. It took me much less time to add those 30 devices than it did to add 4 iDevices units. Between the 2 of them that’s just over 30 bulbs and switches I didn’t need to add individually, a huge time saver. That means I only needed to add the code for the bridge and all of their respective devices almost immediately were added to Home. That means finding them and their HomeKit code, adding the code to Home, naming it, assigning a room and building all the Automations again. The two times I had to reset Home were a real pain. I have Hue, Lutron, iDevices and Honeywell products. If/when you do you’ll realize how nice products that require a bridge are. You must never have had to reset the Home app. I have a lamp with these edison style bulbs so I might upgrade them at some point, too. ![]() Ive been very happy with the brand so far. Not needing a bridge is a huge plus in my book, too. After some growing pains and some software updates they have been very reliable. I went with LIFX because when I want my room well lit I want it well lit. LIFX bulbs, at least when I researched extensively, were the brightest smart bulbs on the market.
