WiZ Wi-Fi Color BR30 Smart Bulb, 2-pack - $14.99 or 4 for $21
$14.99
$29.98
- not a fly by nite company, philips own them
-can be used locally, no cloud. No hub, local wifi
-can be brought into HomeKit using homebridge, does adaptive lighting
- works with google home, Alexa, and Siri (shortcuts or homebridge)
-1 of a handful of bulbs that remember power state (the others are $50 each) this is important because if you lose power those $30-$40 bulbs turn on when power is restored. Imagine sleeping and losing power and every light in the house turns on at 2am
People will compare this to hue or lifx in the comments, just keep in mind, 2 lifx br-30 =100, hue with bridge =$120
Cost to do a bedroom with 4 down lights? Hue-$220, lifx-$200, wiz-$21
I would say the lifx are more of a 1:1 (wifi) and are maybe 10% better. They are however almost 10x the $. I did 4 lifx ($200) in my master and 16 wiz in my other rooms. If I could do it over for the $200 I'd get 40 wiz and do 10 extra rooms instead of 1

Even tho someone responded yes to you, I believe these bulbs are not rated for outdoor use & could short/damage with water. I'm sure someone would correct me if I'm wrong. I have 5 of these bulbs (and a few of the A19 ones) but haven't used outdoors as a floodlight.
All that said, if it was $40 vs $50, I'd go hue, at $5.50 vs $50, no way
They will probably work with the wall switch on, but you will not be able to use the dimmer on the wall--you will have to use your app which is a little bit of a pita. Or you can say hey g**gle turn my lights to 20 percent. Or you could get a smart dimmer switch for the wall and use these lights with it-- Or you could just use multiple regular unsmart dimming led bulbs with a smart dimmer switch and you have all the functionality except color and warm/cold light.
That said, I've read (from different manufacturers) that smart lights don't work or are not to be used in combination with physical dimmer switches. And they (as far as I've looked) don't say why. I would think the reason why is that they would cause flickering.

Thanks I'm going to just switch out the dimmers for switches.

From my experience, smart bulbs don't work at all in conjunction with a dimmer switch, even if the switch is always set to full power. I have a bunch of expensive dimmer switches from Lutron that I used throughout my house for years and when I switched to smart bulbs (Lifx and Hue), I had to completely replace the switches in order to get any smart bulb to work. I currently only keep those switches in rooms where smart bulbs make less sense, like bathrooms and closets.
All that said, if it was $40 vs $50, I'd go hue, at $5.50 vs $50, no way
If you want stability look to hue or better yet lutron. If you like to tinker look to shelly. All of which are stable.
But don't listen to me. Read the reviews on amazon. It has a overall 2.5 stars...

Agreed. I've tried 3 different wifi bulbs now and they all eventually stop connecting until reset again. Flipping the switch is a gamble as to whether they will reconnect. My last house had a new $200+ linksys router and I currently have eero wifi 6 pro, same problem. Also if you change your router or its name, you have to reset and pair them again. With the hub you just plug it in and you're good to go.
