I liked them enough to purchase a total of 8, so yes. Once integrated, they are quite fast no delays that I've seen so far. I have 3 in the living room (our apartment doesn't supply any overhead lighting), and usually run them white all the time, but on the rare occasion, I do like to tint them to a different color (Holidays usually) to fit the mood. Then have 1 in the bedroom.
There is also Tuya Cloud Cutter which I got to work with one bulb to permanently decouple a bulb from Tuya's servers, it provided a new key. I ended up bricking it after by getting brave and flashing Tasmota to it (no longer powered up). So, I took that as a loss. Eventually, I will decouple the rest to make it more cloud free. I will say that in order to properly get the keys, you will need to download the Tuya App from your app store, factory reset the bulbs, then pair them with the app. The app will complain about some device issues, but those are safe to ignore, once they are connected to your Tuya Cloud, then you can harvest the local key.
thanks. I been struggling to get some that I bought set up.
