Philips Hue has been around since 2012, and unfortunately, they are the only brand that makes recessed Downlights that work with HomeKit.

Philips Hue is know for good quality bulbs, but I think Yeelight is the best smart bulb. Yeelight works with HomeKit (with firmware update), Amazon Assistant, Google Assistant, IFTTT, and more. It cost $30 and does NOT require a HUB, unlike Philips Hue, which cost an EXTRA $60 just for the ability to control the bulbs remotely.

The Philips Hue recessed Downlights come in various sizes and they offer a white ambiance and white and color ambience. I chose the 5/6 inch and color ambiance because I really like the colors.

With the Philips Hue app, you can easily control the power, brightness, and color of the bulbs.
