I realized I have some old hue bulbs laying around, and they're working well enough with my Zigbee controller (no bridge), but if I decide to scale up I definitely don't want to pay the Hue premium.

Anyone have a Zigbee bulb brand they recommend? I hear Third Reality is nice?

Many devices fail to pair with Home Assistant. However, smart bulbs all work very well when they have Zigbee.

If you just want some lights that work, I would recommend picking some random Zigbee bulbs up from AliExpress. Far cheaper than the name brand stuff. Else IKEA also works.
