What lightbulbs do you find are best for running tasmota? I'd prefer not to have to setup a zigbee setup in addition to my zwave.


Smart lightbulbs are crappy, since If you turn them off using a light switch, you can't turn them back on via Wi-Fi. I've installed smart relays (Sonoff mini) behind light switches, which means I can control them localy and remotely at the same time.

That being said, anything that can be flashed using tuya-convert will be good. But beware, because not all Tuya lightbulbs hava an ESP chip inside and they have patched the exploit tuya-convert uses in newer firmwares. So check your model on google.
