"Setting up Home Assistant Green with the ZBT-1 dongle I selected the THIRDREALITY Zigbee Smart Color Bulb ZL1 for lighting fixtures around my house and purchased 20 bulbs. This turned out to be a big mistake. These bulbs were constantly dropping offline (unavailable). I tried everything, swapped out the Home Assistant Green, the ZBT-1, added a UPS to the HA Green, purchased a new Wi-Fi system (TP-Link Deco BE33000 mesh) so I could set the Wi-Fi channel to #1 and the Zigbee channel to #20. I finally replaced all 20 Thirdreality bulbs with Philips Hue Essential Smart LED A19 Bulbs. The system has been running without any offline “unavailable” issues for over a month. I’m not saying all Thirdreality products are bad. The THIRDREALITY Zigbee Motion Sensor R1 is EXCELLENT, I am using 4 of them. The THIRDREALITY Zigbee Temperature and Humidity Sensor Lite works as advertised, I’m using 7 of them. The THIRDREALITY Zigbee Contact Sensor, Door and Window Monitor have been operating flawlessly, I’m using 6 of them. The THIRDREALITY ZigBee Smart Plug with Real-time Energy Monitoring are fairly stable (occasionally unavailable), I’m using 10 of them. The THIRDREALITY Multi-Function Night Lights are so bad (2 of them) they have also been permanently removed from my system. I have a love/hate relationship with the THIRDREALITY Zigbee Smart Switch Toggle/Rocker. I’m using 14 of them. The concept is brilliant, a device that fits over a standard wall light switch and uses a mechanical movement to turn the switch ON & OFF. The downside is they stop working “unavailable” often. You have to put the switch in the “ON” position, hold the button for 30 seconds and re-pair them back into the Zigbee network. I am by no means an expert with this system, it’s just another very expensive hobby."

Bought 2 or 3 packs of 4 so far and they work as expected. Some colors could be more true to what I expect to see. Too bad some mods in HA don't work like candle light. But, they work, and they work well for the price.marine elios
