Any recommendations for a ZigBee RGB Lightbulb w/o 3rd party app - at least not a closed source app.

I heard the Phillips Hue works well but I'd like to be able to install and configure the bulbs with Home Assistant (or another open source app at a minimum). Any suggestions?

I've been using the ~~Sendled~~ Sengled E11-N1EA bulbs available on Amazon for quite some time now. They have a bit of a cold white edge to them and could maybe be a bit brighter at times, but overall I've been happy with them.

Mine came in a 4-pack. I have two inside in table lamps, and two outside in coach lamps.

I've had 10 of the RGB ones, E21-N1EA, for a few months now and they've been working perfectly. Not the brightest or the most accurate color, but they're simple, cheap, and local-only.
