6-Pack Sylvania Lightify LED Smart Connection Light Gateway and A19 Bulb Kit $22.99 + FS

FYI all of the Sylvania Lightify gateways will be worthless in a year - they are terminating their service:

Probably why these are being clearanced. After the service shuts down, the bulbs can still be paired to other Zigbee gateways. However, Sylvania/Osram Lightify is THE buggiest smarthome system I have ever used, even after firmware updates. They don't work well at all with HomeAssistant. They also don't change color temperature. So I will personally stay away.

But $3.83 a bulb, maybe some people will be okay with all of that.

The shutting down part is true, as you said, it doesn't impact anyone who plans to use a third-party platform like SmartThings, Wink or Home Assistant.

But, the second part of what you mentioned is not entirely accurate. The Sylvania bulbs made by LEDVANCE show none of the issues that the original Osram Lightify bulbs had (which were terrible). In fact, LEDVANCE even released firmwares to upgrade the bulbs to Zigbee 3.0. All you need to do is check for the FCC ID printed on your bulbs.

If the ID says DZO - LDV-AETHER, you have the newer bulbs which show no issues.
If it says DZO -IQHOME, you have the older ones which will be plagued with issues due to hardware level limitations.

Using these on Hubitat Elevation. Directly connected to hub
Considering the freaking ripoff that is Hue, these bulbs plus an HE hub that runs it ALL, I'm still banking money.
75 for HE + 22 for bulbs= 6 bulbs, and one hell of an HA platform for under a hundred bucks, can't beat that

UPDATE-these are not color, and it looks like you'll get 6 gateways, who the hell needs 6?

Is the actual wattage of this bulbs really 60W or is it incandescent equivalent? How many lumens does each bulb output? Is this specific one made by LEDVANCE?

It says 60 watt equivalent, actual use = 10 watts, about 800 lumen. Good bulbs and these are the newer ones

Do you know the firmware rev numbers for zigbee 3.0? and do you happen to know if smarthings can update to zigbee 3.0, or only lightify

Good price, will buy if not because I already bought some Ecosmart Smart bulbs from previous Home Depot deal ($5 with individual remote, or use ZigBee hub).

Too bad they're not the color changing version and that website doesn't carry A19 color. I'm looking for them to setup my pouch color light for different seasons. Already got the cheap R30 version for flood lights.
