Based on all the reviews I've read over the past year and again today, I really think the systems just haven't been perfected yet, at least not in the basic consumer-level devices. I see complaints in non-Alexa-connected systems that mirror the complaints of Alexa users. With the Philips system, the bulbs get lost from the hub, or the hub loses its connection with Alexa, etc. The TP-Links need to be reset sometimes. And on it goes.
I'm starting to think that they just haven't figured out how to consistently keep things in "standby but receiving" mode.
I went with the TP-Link dimmable white bulb because I don't want a hub. One less thing to plug in.
