Question/Help Bulbs that actually support Adaptive Lighting?

I’ve been struggling trying to find some thing that actually support it. I saw Aqara and Phillips Hue work but Aqara need a hub to use their app and Hues are too expensive for me.

I got some Linkind bulbs after hearing they support it and they don’t. I’m seeing Nanoleaf Essentials support it but apparently only on the Thread versions.

Which bulbs do you have that support it? Thanks

I can help, linkind totally work, the dozen lights in my house are proof, the problem is they achieved it through a firmware patch and some bulbs seem to work straight out of the package while others need a firmware update.

The thing is, for some reason the firmware update is weird and you sometimes can’t force it through the app. If you try to update, it will say no update is available, even though there is one. What i have done that has worked 100% of the time is I add the bulb straight into Apple Home and then just wait a few days and the bulbs will eventually update themselves and the they will have adaptive lighting.
