Finally upgraded my living room lights—anyone else tried smart bulbs?

Haha, yeah, I've seen similar issues. From my experience, Philips Hue bulbs paired with their own hub tend to be pretty stable.

I've had my share of headaches with smart bulbs too. When I first moved into my place, I went all-in on Wi-Fi bulbs thinking it'd be simpler... big mistake. Every time my router hiccuped, the lights would flicker or reset themselves. Switched to Hue with the hub (like you mentioned), and it's been night and day difference—pun intended. Still get the occasional random color shift, but it's rare enough now that it's funny rather than frustrating.
