Hi everyone. I recently started my Home Assistant journey by replacing Google Calendar and Keep Notes with Home Assistant. A couple of light bulbs burnt out and I want to replace them with bulbs that I can use exclusivity on Home Assistant and bypass the manufacturers app entirely. What brand should I look for?

These are standard wall mounted lights in my kitchen and my laundry room.

Edit: I'm looking to replace burnt bulbs anyway.

Bulbs that work via Zigbee instead of wifi. I use ThirdReality's zigbee RGB bulbs. $30 for a 4-pack. They do the thing. You'll need a Zigbee adapter, too; Nabu Casa sells one that works well.

Could you elaborate on this a bit?

Home Assistant has notes and a calendar, so I've replaced Google Calendar and Keep Notes with Home Assistant.
