Longevity #57

Open applehomekit1 opened 5 months ago

applehomekit1 commented 5 months ago

I have had kauf bulbs for over a year, but have had to replace several that failed. I now have 2 standard kauf light bulbs that no longer connect to wifi and just lightly flicker and will not reset. I also have a few more of the br30 bulbs now not responding and will not reset. Is anyone else seeing the same thing happening? I currently use 6 regular bulbs and 17 br30. I assume I will be looking to replace all of them with bulbs that have more longevity, getting to costly to replace this often.

For what it's worth: I have had KAUF A21 RGBWW Smart Bulbs in our chicken coop outside (yes, I KNOW they are not rated for that) to keep light levels at 14 hours via Home Assistant/ESPHome automation since Sep 2021 with no issues.
