  • An RGBCCT controller will control a strip of LEDs (or what ever individual LEDs you put together), a GU10 bulb is just that, a mains voltage bulb. It cannot be controlled externally and includes its own driver. It has input for mains voltage and that’s it. The same would hold true for an E27 or any other type of mains voltage bulb.

    From the outside it looks like this:

    On the inside:

    Did you even read the post you’re commenting on? This is literally a review of user experiences with ZigBee devices. I’m not looking for a work around. I have 96 active ZigBee devices and probably four dozen Wifi devices on my network, you’re not teaching me anything here.

    Unfortunately many many bulbs act as routers, a general issue I have with ZigBee devices, and it’s nearly impossible to know from just reading the description.







  • I have to say, I have dozens upon dozens* of generic “Tuya” ZigBee devices from Ali, and they all work flawlessly. The only ones I have issues with is a couple of GU10 bulbs that the devs decided should be routers when bulbs really shouldn’t route since they can be turned off at the switch. I really wished there was a way to prevent that.

    *96 total devices in Z2M, a handful are Sinopé mains voltage thermostats for baseboard heaters (great units absolutely recommend!), another 3 are inovelli switches (again no issues here, great stuff), a dozen are Aqara (I’ve seen the hate but tbh I never noticed any issues). Almost everything else is Moes/Tuya. I even have a generic tuya temperature/humidity sensor that has been outside for a year and a half in the harsh Canadian climate (from -30C to 30C).

    I will say, I have a couple of AIQ and mmWave sensors and I don’t like them because they produce a LOT of data and kind of spam the network, if I replace them I’ll do WiFi for those.

    I run a HamGeek POE Coordinator.
