    An RGBCCT controller will control a strip of LEDs (or what ever individual LEDs you put together), a GU10 bulb is just that, a mains voltage bulb. It cannot be controlled externally and includes its own driver. It has input for mains voltage and that’s it. The same would hold true for an E27 or any other type of mains voltage bulb.

    From the outside it looks like this:

    On the inside:

    Did you even read the post you’re commenting on? This is literally a review of user experiences with ZigBee devices. I’m not looking for a work around. I have 96 active ZigBee devices and probably four dozen Wifi devices on my network, you’re not teaching me anything here.

    Unfortunately many many bulbs act as routers, a general issue I have with ZigBee devices, and it’s nearly impossible to know from just reading the description.

    Yeah I disagree. And I’m not the only one, many bulbs from larger brands don’t route. The Sengled bulbs don’t for example. IMHO bulbs work fine with dumb switches when they revert back to the last setting which most do. Nothing in the spec says a device that is mains power MUST route.
