Over thinking it. You run these and old stuff at 2.4 and new stuff on 5ghz so not really an issue on dual band routers.

While there is a limit, most people on average will not hit that limit. And its not limited to how many can connect at all, its how many can cannot at one time and thats based solely on bandwidth potential.

That being said, most consumers are unlikely to get enough of these lights to hit that max. If they do, they can get an access point to not only increase the range and throughput but also the load.

Worth it vs a hub for most.

Good bulbs but pairing a 2.4 GHz-only device to a Deco mesh system is a pain. Be prepared for some hassle if your 5 and 2.4 networks share the same name.

edit: tp-link added a feature to the app in January to let you turn off the 2.4 and 5 0 GHz band if you want to use 1 only. I take back what I said. Good job Deco team.

It always is strange to me that people go after these no-hub-required bulbs. I assume anyone who is using them probably has a lot of other IOT devices, meaning their router is either nearing capacity, or they've had to utilize additional access points to split the load of all the devices.

Conversely, a hub seems like it would reduce a lot of network strain by handling and coordinating at least all the lights.

Perhaps I've missed something though?

How am I overthinking it? There are limits to how many devices a router can handle without having issues. The number of devices for most routers is a lot lower than you'd expect too from all that I understand. If you're using a lot of connected bulbs, speakers, TVs, cameras, computers, streaming devices, phones, etc it seems pretty easy to overload your network by sheer volume of connections.

Wonder if these reset often like some generic WiFi bulbs I had. Tried to use them as outdoor lights and they would blink rapidly if they couldn't connect or lose configuration or something. Made my house look like a party.

How about if it asks us to download their application in android. Does it asks for permissions like location and photos or storage ...¿

I've been using kasa bulbs on my garage for over 2 years, and they've been solid. My dad had a different brand (maybe geeni?) and had the problem you describe.

I have about 50 devices total and at least a dozen are turned off at any given time. I also have pretty much run out of things around the house that I feel would be useful to make "smart" so I think my $120 Eero 5 setup is safe for a while. Works fine on a 100mbps connection.

I have the Geeni ones and can absolutely confirm that it has problems. Any time power flickers or the lights go out, I have to set them up again. Had them for a year and maybe changed the color twice during that time, so I just use them as a standard bulb. Worthless

Edit: I would like to try the Wyse color smart bulbs tho. They have REALLY been stepping up their game in products. Since being VERY impressed with the v3 camera (in a bias Google boy)I'm predicting they will fit great in my house.

I agree, I have an eero Pro and a beacon with a 25 devices usually on/idle and 12 devices that are offline but individually used sparingly (ps3, ps4, tablet, guest TV). I haven't had any problems since this setup was installed, even with 3 tv's at once streaming Netflix in "4K". I'm rockin 1 gig speed tho

Linksys velop triband user here. Same ssid for 2.5 and 5ghz. I've got about 25 kasa devices(mostly dimmers/switches), one lifx, 4 smart TV's, 6 echos, 5 cameras, a garage door opener, a water softener, and zero network issues. The only issue I ever have anymore is the modem acts up a couple times a year, but that's an isp issue. These smart devices just don't use any substantial bandwidth. However, some older routers will have issues with these smart devices. So I'm not saying anyone is wrong, but it may be time to start looking for a new mesh router if you have issues with home automation over wifi. I did have random issues with dropouts using a single wrt32x, but it was very likely just a coverage issue. I hope this helps anyone running into issues.

I've lost count on how many smart home devices I have connected to wifi. But for just smart switches, I have 15. I'm guessing 30 devices. I do have 1 router and 1 access point tho. Never had an issue.

I have 1 of these for a year and no issues. Yes you need to download and grant the kasa app some permissions I order to use these. No effects tho like rotating colors. You can control the on off and color by voice with Alexa and Google home. I paid $15 for 1. Good deal here.
