Samsung has posted the web page for the new SmartThings bulb. $9.99 gets you a basic zigbee dimmable bulb, locked to 2,700K color temperature.
I went ahead and ordered a bulb to play with. I haven’t seen it come through the public GitHub using the normal zigbee dimmer handler, so I’m curious to see if it’s using some private handler with special features.

I’m curious whether it’s a repeater and, if so, if it’s reliable for Xioami devices.

Unfortunately won’t be able to tell that since we don’t have any zigbee netwoing tools. Maybe @tpmanley or @BroderickCarlin know the answer to that.

It is a repeater and also a Zigbee 3 device so it should work fine with the Xiaomi devices. However I haven’t tried it yet myself to confirm that.

I ordered a couple to replace some older bulbs that have issues.

Do you happen to know how many child devices it can handle routing for?

I guess I’ll use these to replace my Crees!
I don’t but I’ll try to find out

Just received a pair today. The (older?) app found them right away. Dimming seems to work fine… they dim down to about 10% before going out completely. Color seems decent enough. I’ll set them up with the rest of my lights using “Gentle Wake Up” in a bit and see how it goes, but so far, so good.

I wish they made some higher lumen LED bulbs outside of LIFX. I have a large house with large living spaces. 60 watt equivalent bulbs just don’t put out enough light. Does anyone know of one both color and white?
