Bi-pin smart bulb

Hi, I have a room with 2 bi-pin bases (picture below) and I'm looking to make the bulbs "smart".
Is there any narrow bi-pin smart bulb on the market?

These are on amazon, i used them for my spotlights. I put a dimmer switch in line and they now work as a dimmable spotlight fixture

Thanks, but they are too wide/heavy for the base.
I have MR16 bulbs in the ceiling but these bases need a small/narrow bulb like these:

If you can get into the wall where it's wired, you probably could use a Zigbee or Z-Wave relay.

I prefer not. I'll probably burn the whole house down :slight_smile:

Looks like there are Wifi G9 bulbs, but not sure if any have an open API that would integrate with hubitat.
I would go the dimmer/relay route too.

That's what electricians are for. :wink: So you can blame them.

It's really shouldn't be much more complicated/risky than replacing a normal wall switch w/a smart switch, as long as you have neutrals at that location.

I have IKEA Tradfri GU10 LEDs above the kitchen sink. These are ZigBee and use the ‘Advanced Zigbee Bulb’ driver. The GU10 can be dimmed through HE.

If a standard GU10 won’t fit, how about dropping it down with an extension

Edit -

MR16 look to be the same as GU10 but are different voltages.

The MR16 is 12 volts DC and the GU10 is 120 volts AC
