I love the IKEA bulbs. They are pretty bright, work as ZigBee routers, and have excellent Zigbee2mqtt support. IKEA even openly provides update files for them and that's a practice I want to support! (Glares at Philips)

I’ve got a handful of Tuya bulbs flashed with ESPHome, they’ve been rock solid. Thought they had some flakey wifi NICs but that turned out to be a router configuration issue and entirely my fault. Ikea bulbs (Zigbee) are also very reliable. I have some LIFX bulbs as well, I’ve had them ~5 years and never had a single issue. They’re 100% local with the homekit integration (though they do need cloud connectivity when pairing - you need to pair them with an actual Apple homekit hub before removing them so HA picks them up)

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.
