Sengled's servers are dead again, so I'm finally taking the plunge (infosec.pub)

Luckily I already have a Plex/Jellyfin server, so having a device running 24/7 isn’t an issue. But my experience is primarily on the HTPC side of things, so I’d appreciate any tips! I’m probably going to run it headless for now, but may eventually install a dashboard once the dust has settled on getting this running.

Those are the exact bulbs I have! I thought ahead and at least bought Zigbee bulbs, in anticipation of Sengled eventually pulling their support. And now here we are, with Sengled’s servers dead/killed and absolutely no communication from the company. Apparently this latest outage had Amazon pulling their support, so there are probably a lot of Alexa people about to transition to other brands.
