"I maintain an application for bridging various non-Hue lighting systems
to something that looks enough like a Hue that an Amazon Echo will still
control them. One thing I hadn't really worked on was colour support, so
I picked up some cheap bulbs and a bridge. The kit is badged as an
iSuper iRainbow001, and it's terrible."
A good reason to be very, very cautious about buying any of the fancy
new IoT products. Not everyone is able to do this kind of thorough
investigation. (For non-technical readers, this particular product
allows anyone nearby to use your fancy lightbulbs to bypass WiFi
security and get access to everything on your home network, and also
allows anyone on the Internet to control your lightbulbs and/or crash them.)
