A couple of years ago - i had b@stardized some solar lighting bollards and fitted the 5V LED lights in from a few kits of the sylvania Outdoor Accent RGBS that i had in my fun drawer. For about 50 dollars a light - they looked really good but it was a total DIY with a lot of soldering to be able to add water proof connectors.
Fast forward 2 years. I have my home rented out and the tenants love the land scape lighting BUT one of the sets of lights died....or rather must be shorted as they flash on off at random times. Im nowhere near the city anymore and cant go troubleshoot or repair.
I was looking for options that are just plug an play BUT the only ones i could find are Phillips Hue and frankly - i'm not prepared to pay 150 per light.
Its been a while since ive looked but anyone know if there are any recent decently priced options for HE compatible land scape lights?
thanks in Advance.

Still researching. I found these on amazon - says they are zigbee and wave compatible... reached out to the company to see if they will confirm the protocol....hopefully if it is zigbee 3.0 a generic driver may work.
EDISHINE 48FT Smart Low Voltage Landscape Lighting, RGBW 350LM LED Pathway Lights, APP Control & Alexa, Music Sync, Waterproof Aluminum Outdoor Landscape Lights for Yard, 4PCS
These are Tuya⌠Most of the Tuya Zigbee LED controllers will work when paired directly to Hubitat, but there are exceptions. You canât tell until you try.
Note, that âZigbee 3.0â means nothing in regards whether a device uses the standard HomeAutomation 1.2 clusters or not, i.e. whether it will work with HE inbuilt drivers or not.
All the Zigbee devices produced in the last years are Zigbee 3.0, including all incompatible gadgets that have use custom clusters for commands and attributes reporting.
You can always return the product to Amazon if it doesnât work with Hubitat.
I don't mind experimenting. Given an option - i'd like to find multiple that connect together low voltage where all are connected to the same controller. If i was home - i'd have no problem rewiring to a standard controller but hard to do half way across the world. But still looking. thanks

Hii mac!
I get why youâre looking for something plug-and-play now, especially with being away from the city. For HE-compatible landscape lights, you might want to check out the Sengled Smart LED PAR38 bulbsâtheyâre usually more affordable and work with Zigbee. Theyâre not exactly the same as your original setup, but they could be a decent alternative without breaking the bank.
I hope this will help you!
Appreciate that. Had a look - i don't really have anywhere i can screw in bulbs on the perimeter of the yard. But still looking. I found these which look promising. Says they pair with Smart things - so hoping that they might work with HE. 99 for 3 lights....which for outdoor lighting o os really reasonable Can connect up to 5 on the same power supply. Just need the lights BUT at least they sell the connecting wires.

Innr is definitely the better choice in regards to the compatibility with Hubitat.
the only other reasonable option i found, that should be HE compatible ( through through an interface i presume) is Govee. They have a 100 foot set ( ground lights) for less than 200. - which has 30 lights.
Govee Outdoor Ground Lights 2, 100ft Outdoor Lights for Halloween, 30 Pack RGBIC Pathway Lights, 100LM Warm White, IP67 Waterproof for Garden, Splitter Connector, Works with Alexa, Google Assistant'
Luckily i have a couple of sets of GOVEE inside lights here with me in Malaysia. I have never connected them to HE but at least i can work out th routine here locally - then remote in at the house and configure ( if i go the govee route)
Appreciate the replies and ideas so far - thanks

I.now use the govee garden lights
