    Oh, I could make it worse if you’d like? That tool isn’t made for just the bulbs I got at Costco, it’s made for any device in the Tuya ecosystem. What’s Tuya? They’re a Chinese white-label manufacturer that makes smart devices that other companies can slap their brand on. They’ll throw you together an app too, but all of the API calls go through their infrastructure. Bonus, they also make security cameras that send footage to their servers, and smart locks too. They’re literally everywhere, but I’m in Australia so that’s where I’m basing this list:

    • Mirabella Genio
    • Tapo
    • Laser (Big W)
    • Anko (Kmart)
    • Feit Electric (Costco)
    • Grid Connect (Bunnings)
    • EKO (only makes security cameras)
    • Kogan SmarterHome
    • BrilliantSmart (Brilliant Lighting)

    And that is, quite literally, only to name a few.
