My second generation Kasa color bulbs do pretty well, and only have issues when the 2.4G Wi-Fi doesn’t have enough bandwidth or range to communicate well with them. I have a couple of older 1st generation ones that I basically retired because they periodically stop working, then require a manual turn off and back on.
I don’t think the Kasa bulbs require a hub. My Alexa Echo Plus 2nd generation has a built-in hub, but I don’t have a stand-alone hub. I have a lot of Apple devices, but since Apple doesn’t have much in the way of Home automation, I’ve gone with Amazon’s version of Home automation instead. I do wish there was ONE app to rule them all though! For some devices I have to use the Kasa app, for some the Alexa app, and for Govee their app, and sometimes I have to use two apps to get things working.
