I don't think about them because mine still work fine (with a bridge connected to Ethernet) with Alexa for several years without major problems. I have 90+ total of strips, light bulbs, and such. I'm at about the limit for what one bridge can support.

The HDMI audio Sync box is a PITA that doesn't work well and doesn't support many lights. It's a $300 paperweight.

There was a periodic bug where lights would turn back on after commanded to turn off, and wouldn't stay off. That happened maybe 1% of the time but hasn't happened lately.

I also have no-brand, BT-based I2C silicone ARGB "rope" that requires an I2C fan-out repeater because only about 12 feet / 4 m could be powered serially.
