I've found 3 table lamps that I want to get E12 bulbs for, but am getting stuck. I want to be able to at least dim/turn off by wifi/google home.
any suggestions from folks here

do you have a link to the lamps in question? how tight is the bulb fit?. if theres a bit of headroom you could use an adaptor. athom make some E14 bulbs (which come in esphome/tasmota/wled firmware flavours) which are like a simalar size/shape but an adaptor would raise the bulb up slightly.

if the cost is way more to get dimmable features, then I can just stick to wifi switches to turn on and off
sturdy temple
yeah it looks like you probably have the headroom. so something like this to convert to E14 would give you more options.

my current default would be the ikea bulbs lol

between adaptor and bulb your probably spending more on that than the base mind.

something like THIS is what I was thinking.
thats the esphome version but as said above you can get it in other flavours if you prefer

that's not bad at all. would I need HA for this?
haven't pulled the trigger on HA yet :/ decided for budget purposes to stick with kasa wirelss light switches and/or wiz bulbs

"need" probably not but I would definitely recommend it. also if your asking questions in the home assistant server its kinda assumed you have or are about to have it 😛

its fine
the WLED firmware version could be used. i believe they have native apps for ios/android
or the tasmota version i think has some apps peoplee have made too but i dont know too much about tasmota
all 3 work with HA though. in general i lean toward recommending esphome version if gunna use home assistant anyway

struggling to find android app for anthom on google
sturdy temple
they dont have an app
the open firmware they use has an app
for WLED
Android / IOS
further reading
esphome/tasmota/wled are all open firmwares that run on esp microcontrollers

this is really freaking cool
seems like a natural next step between wiz and ha, where I can grab these, use their open firmware + google app for now, and then integrate into a future HA system
or did i misunderstand?
sturdy temple
yeah the WLED one should support what you need for now and be ready for using with HA later

I am in the UK so not really but they all do the same job. get one from local amazon. they all do the same thing

yup, they just sit on your wifi 🙂 we dont do hubs for specific devices around here if we can help it

really neat. a few open questions I have is about the shape of the bulb. the one linked is chanderlier style (?) while these lamps would prob benefit from a more standard shape (assumption which could be wrong)
also I see that the bulb states the wattage but I'm used to see lumens + color temp. is lumens not stated for any particular reason?

the lamp style e14 tend to be the thinner shape as that's generally what lamps have room for
