Hi everyone! I am new to HB/Homekit from Google Home. We have several front and backyard light bulbs from C by GE, which can be directly connected to Google Home without a Hub. However, they don't seem to work with HB or Homekit (even with the C-reach hub). We never used a lighting system with a hub, so I wonder if there are good recommendations of light bulbs that can be connected through HB, before we invest money into more expensive HomeKit-certified options? Thank you very much!

I got a few bulbs and a motion detector for free for a beta test and then picked up the c-reach hub for $15 on eBay. I started getting more of the bulbs for super cheap on eBay and got a couple four packs of them for $17 on Amazon. They work pretty well and MUCH cheaper than Hue. I hope they get the new lighting features iOS 14 has brought out but I’m not counting on it although they did just roll out a firmware update.

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
