I use the Ikea lights and bridge, although mine is a few years old at this point. Everything just works and I've maybe had 1 issue in just over 4 years. Easily integrates with either Google Home or HomeKit or HA. My only complaint is (my) bridge needs hardwire ethernet access and each bridge only supports 5 devices. I bought one of the wireless physical switches which seemed like it would come in handy, but the battery died pretty quick. Not a big deal though as I never used it anyway, but having the option was nice.

I still have one of the original hubs and I definitely have more than 5 devices (light bulbs and outlets) working without problem.

I have at least 3 physical switches in use and they’ve lasted at least 2 years so far.

So far Genio is cheaper and works at least as well as the rest.
