The GE Cync bulbs are crap. Pretty damn close to the bottom of the barrel there. If you want cheap smart bulbs that are good quality then go with either ThirdReality or Ikea. I would lean towards Zigbee for now. Your best bet to find smart bulbs cheap is to use something like camelcamelcamel.com to track the pricing from various storefronts. Only way I've found to buy them cheaper at bulk pricing is to purchase in lots of 100+.

Each row is one report from a GitHub thread, an integration’s docs, or r/homeassistant. Check the date and the linked source before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
