A cheap, hub-free Wi-Fi colour bulb with a mature local integration. Colour rendering and brightness are modest, but at around a tenner it is hard to argue with for a bedroom or hallway. Kasa is on the older tplink app side, so do not expect Matter.
What can Home Assistant control on the TP-Link Kasa Smart Bulb KL130 (E27, colour)?
| Control | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Light | Light | On/off, brightness and colour as a standard light entity. |
| Colour temperature | Light attribute | Tunable white plus colour. |
KL130 is on the supported list for HA's built-in TP-Link Smart Home (tplink) integration, which talks to the bulb over the local network. Pair it in the Kasa app first, then let HA discover it; you can then block the bulb's internet access if you like.
