This community is 100% amazing. I have found so many great ideas and details here - it has been immensely helpful. One of my goals at the outset of starting my smart home adventure a month ago was to make sure that all outdoor bulbs were RGBW capable - even if only to use that feature around holidays. One of the things I've read thread after thread about is a lack of RGBW Par38 / BR40 bulbs that aren't wifi based... even the ones that are wifi based now seem incapable of OTA flashing with Tasmota...
In that vein I have a few questions:
-
Are there any available z-wave/zigbee RGBW Par38/BR40 bulbs that can operate outdoors? Form factor is not optional based on the recessed can size and wasps liking to build nests if ONLY a BR30 bulb is inserted into the can.
-
If not 1, are their any known folks still selling OTA flashable wifi RGBW Par38/BR40 bulbs I could flash with Tasmota? I just don't think I have the time to learn how to physically flash them - assuming even that works still.
-
If not 2, is anyone out there selling on e-bay or what not or planning on selling some RGBW bulbs that are re-programmed with Tasmota in the Par38/BR40 form factor? (I know I'd pay well - I'm assuming others would too)
-
If not 1, 2, or 3 Are there any 6" diameter outdoor rated RGBW recessed light replacement/retrofit kits I could buy? weather ranges from -10F with windchill up to 105 Fahrenheit but bulbs would not have direct contact with water - only fog... which I guess is just less dense water... so do what you will with that (yaye ohio).
I bought Hubitat as I firmly believe in the local processing mindset and I'm loving it... If anyone knows of a cache of bulbs, i'm looking for approximately ~8. Thanks everyone for your time!
