Can I use a Smart bulb without any dimmer?

[sullen spoke]

Looking to buy a zigbee bulb, but it will be used in a 3 gang smart switch that has no dimmer.

I don't want to replace the switch, and I don't need physical dimming since I just want one brightness throughout the day and a different brightness throughout the night.

I guess it's not best practice since you're limiting the usage to software, but it's not worth the money to replace the gangs.

I plan to use whatever Tuya z2mqtt or similar cheap bulb I can find.

Is there any issue with this setup?

Thanks!

Besides you intending to buy tuya gear which is a bad idea, there is no loss of functionality from not having a physical dimmer

Perfect thanks! Tuya ftw. Tbh I don't agree with the hate. Nothing can compare to its value. I get that it might not be perfect, but I'm willing to try and buy twice if needed. It's still worth.

The issue isn't a lack of perfection, it's a lack of standard. For basic products such as lamps, paying insignificantly more yields much less headaches down the line. But if quality issues or a forced cloud connection on wifi gear isnt bothersome to you, they are a buck cheaper than others.

What's in significantly more? Happy to go with an alternative if that's really the case.

The cloud issue is not since I'm only considering zigbee.

Looking for a zigbee dimmable (and rgb but not necessary) E27 led bulb.

Tuya ones go for £3-4 in Ali.

The smart bulb line from Ikea is probably the most reasonable purchase available when on a budget then. Alternatives in a similar range would be from Innr and if you really crave Tuya, people seem to be alright with what Ledvance and Moes sells but those can be a hit or miss.
