I got tired of dealing with smart bulbs of various different brands, that would disconnect from our wifi or Alexa and stop working. So I bought a #Hue starter kit and bulbs, and replaced it all. Paired with the new #HomePod & a fast Siri, this is just what I wanted but pricey 😬💰💸

@danimal Totally get it; my setup's something of a hodgepodge. I have some hope that Thread & Matter will ease things going forward, but I'm not yet ready to replace all of my gear. (Meanwhile, some lights only work reliably from one voice assistant or the other…)

@SeanMcTex @danimal I recently replaced all my Bluetooth HomeKit plug/switches with Thread versions (from Eve) and I’ve been amazed at how solid it is. Super fast to respond and so far, no issues.
