Smart bulbs that aren't so smart

This is the second time I've bought Mini LIFX bulbs with identical results. They work fine for months only to upgrade the hardware and stop working in Apple Home altogether. I've tried removing them from the Apple Home app and resetting the lightbulb and can't reconnect to them. The picture doesn't show one of my bulbs because this time, unlike my first case, I only tried one bulb and reset all three bulbs when I reset. before you buy new ones.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive

Today, when I unpacked it, I found that it is not recommended for outdoor use. Rolled the dice and kept going, it wouldn'tโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Everything is great!
Cons
  • Price
