Hue is about to sell your data and require an account, a good reason to buy Inovelli bulbs!

Just popping in for clarity – @BertABCD1234 is correct, we are not planning on selling anymore Z-Wave bulbs at this time. We do have a lot left, but once they’re gone, we do not plan on restocking them for a couple of reasons. We no longer work with that manufacturer and Z-Wave is a tough sell when it comes to bulbs simply because people can purchase Hue if they want a premium brand and then they can also buy the cheap WiFi bulbs if they want something inexpensive.

Given we couldn’t modify the firmware on these, it was a tough sell for us as to compete with Hue’s price-point, requires us to have something different and usually that’s done via firmware.

Now, that said, I do love these bulbs, please don’t misunderstand! It was just hard for us to compete.

We do plan on getting back into the bulb market via a mmWave bulb that will be Zigbee (and possibly Matter). More to come there, I’ve kicked off the project with the manufacturer, but we’re going back and forth on the aesthetics.
