Light bulbs (lemmus.org)

Hi everyone. I recently started my Home Assistant journey by replacing Google Calendar and Keep Notes with Home Assistant. A couple of light bulbs burnt out and I want to replace them with bulbs that I can use exclusivity on Home Assistant and bypass the manufacturers app entirely. What brand should I look for?

These are standard wall mounted lights in my kitchen and my laundry room.

Edit: I'm looking to replace burnt bulbs anyway.

Shelly

I use the vintage ones as they look nice.

I have 12 of them because my house wiring is 💩 so I can't get smart switches to work properly

They're wifi and can operate with the Shelly integration and / or MQTT. No need for an app, they have their own wifi when you first power them up to configure them.

The only reason I let them loose on the internet is to update their firmware, then I isolate them again.

I also have a pair of Lifx bulbs in the bedroom as they're inside shades so it's more about the RGB colour for sunrise / sunset than their visual appeal as a bulb.
