HA isn't (usually) the problem, the smart devices are. Our LIFX bulbs work almost flawlessly, and the Ikea bulbs using zigbee (not the ikea hub) are yet to fail, but the small number of Tapo bulbs require an API authentication that expires eventually or whenever there is a blackout so they require me to re-enter the password. So the tapo bulbs are getting replaced with more Ikea bulbs and I won't be buying Tapo again.
