Decided to give these bulbs a crack since they are the HomeKit version and clearance over the apparently crappier Matter model (cost more, more bugs)
Went to Officeworks because I rang them up and told it was available at Liverpool $17 each. Couldn’t find them bulbs as they were clearance/someone moved them around but instead discovered the 3 pack was also $17! Check in store only because it’s not listed online
Bulbs are E27 9W 1100 lumen
I have both the homekit and matter version.
I can confirm that the matter version is strangely more buggy when used with apple homekit, but works well with google home.
The homekit version supports homekit adaptive lighting, while the matter version does not.
I am having so much trouble with the matter ones dropping off thread/ unresponsive in google. I have a few Google nest gen2 hubs from deals over the years so figured I would have plenty of border routers but it is just not playing nice and I can't find much in the way of troubleshooting. About ready to go back to get some cheap tuya bulbs that at least seems to work
Admittedly my single nest gen2 is in the same room as my matter bulbs.
Will have to see whether having the matter bulb further and routing through other devices would have the same issues.
I'm also tempted to go back to LIFX wifi bulbs, they were more reliable.
According to the website, the 3-pack is in stock at my local store for $99.
Should I go to the store to see if they're $17? Can I refer them to that price elsewhere?
Nah that’s the Matter models, need to dig around the clearance section of your Officeworks for the $17 3 pack
Thanks OP, do you have the product model/code for the 3 pack you got?
Thanks
On receipt it’s MG45E273PK
great deal with some really good specs, nano leaf does those triangles that streamers like to use, have only heard good things about them.
