Color br30 recommendations

I found another thread from 2024, closed 4 days ago.

Looking to replace br30 with color bulbs. Need to be dimmable. Any new updates for 2025 I should consider. Right now I’m all zigbee/zwave. Would consider matter, but would be first use. On a c-8. Hoping to stay under $10 each.

Matter isn't bad if you have an Apple Homekit infrastructure already. The topics I've read within the community mirror my own: Apple's experience with Matter shows. I've added a few Matter devices now, and then subsequently paired them to Hubitat. Smooth as silk. The first two I added, more than a year ago, were RGBTW bulbs. (Two A19 for $14) They are used in automations every day and haven't given any grief... so far :smiley:

You can find Sylvania BR30 zigbee bulbs, on ebay, mercari, etc. Mine are well behaved after firmware update. You can update right from HE.
