These are great bulbs the best bulbs outside of Hue that I have used

These are good routers, and come with Energy monitoring

I have 2 of these in my kids rooms for their Desk Lamps. The bind directly to the bulbs and can dim them by holding the button. They also have a strong magnetic base.

Hue really are the best zigbee bulbs out there in my opinion, solid routers and the best for dimming to very low levels.

Again Hue bulbs are the best for the price. Look for deals on these during Amazon Prime Days. I have 5 in the ceiling in one room and they have worked flawlessly. Have tried Slyvania/Ledvance and Sengled, and these are far better than both.

THIRDREALITY Smart Plugs with Energy Monitoring
These work well THIRDREALITY is a Works with Home Assistant partner, and they provide firmware update regularly.

THIRDREALITY Water Leak Detector
Good water detector with alarm and uses AAA batteries for long life

Sonoff Indoor Temperature and Humidity Sensor with Screen
I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the newer Sonoff zigbee devices. Much better than the 1st gen square sensors they sold.

Sonoff Temperature and Humidity Sensor
Look for the SNZB-02P, not the SNZB02 square unit!

Smartwings Motorized Light Filtering Honeycomb Blinds
I have these in 2 rooms and having the shades open and close based on the time of day and light outside is awesome.

These have been surprisingly good. They aren’t super bright. I don’t use the included remote, and never tried to join it.

One of the few Tuya devices I actually like. I use one in my crawlspace so I don’t have go under the house to turn off an outdoor water valve for the winter months. It’s spec compliant endpoint device.

THIRDREALITY Zigbee Temperature and Humidity Sensor with Digital LCD Display
These are great and nice to support a company that actively works to make sure there products work with Home Assistant.

The Aqara cubes are fun.

This makes a great HA dashboard for a low price!

I use this for the Black and Dark Blue Cases. Like the matte finish.

I got 3 of these, while they are using oem customized tuya models, they have been solid and working great.
