- No Apple HomeKit support
- Physically larger than many competing bulbs
- No dedicated white LED, which limits CRI compared to RGBW alternatives
“Whole-home smart lighting recommendations”r/smarthome
The Kasa KL135 has quietly become the community's favorite recommendation for anyone setting up smart lighting on a budget. Owners praise its “excellent smart home integration” and the fact that it works without a hub. The 1,000-lumen output is a standout feature, with one reviewer noting they've “used these bulbs in every room in my house for a range of purposes.” The lack of HomeKit support is the most common complaint, but for Alexa and Google Home households, the community consensus is clear: Kasa delivers 90% of the Hue experience at a fraction of the cost.
