Is there any chance or plans for Inovelli to introduce a new lineup of bulbs and LED strips / controllers? I didn’t see what happened to the Red Series lights, but haven’t seen them for sale, and never saw a Blue Series option of them.
I’ve tested the following and each of them had some issue or downfall:
- Sengled: (Zigbee) Bulbs (RGBW)
- Nanoleaf: (Matter Over Thread) Essentials Bulbs & LED Strips (RGBW)
- IKEA: (Zigbee) TRÅDFRI Bulbs (RGBW, and CCT)
- Wiz: (WiFi) Bulbs (RGBW, and CCT)
- Lifx: (WiFi) Bulbs (RGBW)
Some of the issues I’ve seen between these:
- Bulbs flash blue or red when turning on
- Some devices only endpoints not routers
- WiFi Bulbs dropping off / not working with some AP types.
- Thread Bulbs not communicating with the network even when connected
- IKEA not being nearby, and not shipping bulbs unless you order enough other things.
The features I’d love to see in a new family of bulbs:
- Blue and White Series options (Zigbee and Thread)
- Bulbs, LED Strips, LED Strip Controllers (Standalone)
- Devices are routers and endpoints
- Wide color temp range ideally something around 2000K - 6000K (Most only do 2700-6000, but use the RGB diodes to achieve the temp range extremes leading to odd reds and blues) Lifx kills it in this department with 1500k - 9000k with the best color temp rendering. If you guys got anywhere close it’d still kill the competition, and be on Thread or Zigbee instead of WiFi
- Firmware actually functional (some of the other test bulbs have just not functioned properly)
