4 pack of Kogan SmarterHome WiFi RGBW (warm and cool white) 10W globes, both E27 (screw) and B22 available at the same price. These can be used with the kogan smarterhome app or any other Tuya app if you have other tuya globes. Like every tuya globe available at the moment there is no OTA flashing available for them as far as I know, but for anyone using Home Assistant I recommend using LocalTuya which will give local control even if you block the globes from the internet after initial setup.

Regular price is apparently $49.99 but also cheap compared to this deal with ConnectSmart RGBW 4pack globes for $32 pickup or + shipping, for a comparable globe. Rated slightly lower brightness (806 vs 900 lumens) compared to the ConnectSmart but given they're both 10W this is likely a difference in how they measure them or similar.

  Bro you got suggestions how the heck we integrate local tuya ??
  I cannot get my head around local tuya integration on the final steps, of configuration (after getting the Client ID and token from the cloud account after linking app).

  aka from the github page from this "For each entity, the associated DP has to be selected. All the options requiring to select a DP will provide a drop-down menu showing all the available DPs found on the device (with their current status!!) for easy identification." - that step is a pain in a$$

  For others like me, I suggest you just get a zigbee bulb. They are so much easier to integrate than these tuya stuff.

    You can flash these with esphome pretty easily now. Would recommend doing that

      Can you flash them OTA or does it still need to be done via serial? If they're doable OTA then I'd definitely recommend that, but otherwise LocalTuya wins for me over opening up the globes and getting access to the serial headers.

        You can do it OTA now with tuya-cloudcutter. It's almost as easy as in the good old tuya convert days. This is the most up to date guide I can find, however it should be noted you don't even have to fluff around with installing a different version of ESPHome now, LibreTiny is supported in the current version.

        I tried local tuya and it finally somehow worked in home assistant, (but it still requires the device to be online ?? connected to the internet ??? So what is the point of local tuya ? then if it still requires internet (and data sent to chinese clouds ?)

    How I normally figure out the DPs is I'll make sure things are on different settings, like brightness on 50, colour temp on max, colour mode on etc, and when you go to set the DPs it should show the current value so you can figure from there what each setting should be. For everything execpt the main on/off DP you can go back in and edit them without deleting the device in local tuya so if you find when you turn the brightness up in HA that it's really doing the colour temp, you can switch those 2 DPs and save and it'll immediately update.
    I do sometimes think there should be a template site similar to the tasmota templates that shows LocalTuya DPs for each device.
