I realized I have some old hue bulbs laying around, and they're working well enough with my Zigbee controller (no bridge), but if I decide to scale up I definitely don't want to pay the Hue premium.

Anyone have a Zigbee bulb brand they recommend? I hear Third Reality is nice?

The bulb resets are known to TP-Link and they created a firmware version that fixed it. The company didn't release the update and now TP-Link support reps deny that the new firmware exists, so obviously the communication failures and resets are design intent.
