Alternative GU10 Smart Lighting

[DHR]

I've got the need for a few new colour GU10 spots, but am reluctant to pay hue prices, even though I'm pretty much wed to hue as a control platform. You're looking at 50% more cost wise for hue gu10s. I've used the ikea tradfri colour bulbs but don't find them that strong so wanted to try something different.

Wondering if I should start moving over to Google home, and look at using that to mix my existing hue stuff with Wiz, govee, innr etc? (innr look like they've gone up a fair amount too now)

Have a feeling I'll get a list of home assist responses but I've still not had the time to get it setup and do a deep dive on it.

How about shelly. They have their own app if you don't want home assistant.

I've got the Aurora AOne RGBCX Bluetooth Gu10 with no need for a bridge just the app, they've been great, had one pop a warm white emitter after 3 years and 3 weeks out of warranty and they replaced it no issues.

The Tapo GU10 shares the same Lumens as the Philips Hue bulbs (Not colour bulbs)
I am currently replacing the 38 Hue's I have with a mix of Tapo and just Smart switches and so far have had no issues.

Loads of options then that's good to know.

I ended up picking up four colour IKEA ones today as I was there anyway, definitely need to figure out a flexible solution moving forwards.

The Wiz ones are meant to be good and I like the look of some of the other suggestions too thanks all, it's just getting them all controllable from one app/location. Maybe home assist is the way.
