I bought the cheap Mirabella genio bulbs from Kmart which are tuya based, but i ended up flashing them with Tasmota and controlling them from homebridge using the mqttthing plugin (and running an MQTT broker) on my homebridge pi. The guides for flashing them are pretty straight forward (flashed over the air). They also sell sensors and ir bridge which I have also successfully managed to flash and get into home!

Partly worksOn and off only; preset scenes and colours not working
Saved copy
I’ve tried the Mirabella Genio coloured fairy lights and they worked directly with the Tuya app For HomeKit I got them working with one of the Tuya plugins but only on and off. These lights have pre-made scenes and colours and I couldn’t figure out an accessory scheme that worked with that. For standard globes I’ve stuck with Hue and have then added some Ikea globes to the Hue hub. I’ve recently got their range extender working but like the switches it doesn’t show up in HomeKit.

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
