I received the LIFX bulbs and they connected within seconds to HomeKit and Google Home. I'm trying to decide if I should try to sell the horrible Yeelight bulbs yet be forthright to the buyer. So I asked ChatGPT, "Write an ad for a private sale of a Yeelight smart lightbulb to make it sound worth buying even though the bulb is a terrible bulb, the worst I've used." Here's what it came up with:

It's been a multi-year battle with Yeelight "smart" bulbs to connect them and have them stay connected. After one bulb spontaneously disconnected and failed to reconnect after six tries, I've given up with this Chinese-made crapola. Yeelight inexplicably requires two iPhone apps and multiple tries to connect a bulb … when it works.

Since I'm not crazy about the expensive Hue bulbs either, I'm going to buy LIFX. I gave them as a gift once and the recipient loves them.

I never imagined would be a workaround to custom programming these bulbs!! Add in a browser tab to a playlist and bam, instant media show.

In related but different news, seems like made some updates in recent months that allows for me to easily pair new bulbs again.

Previously it was struggling to pair after switching to a new router with 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz under the same SSID. The claim was that the devices only operate with 2.4, but even when I temporarily shut off 5GHz, it still failed.

But now it seems the device setup is able to navigate that better now 🤷
