    Hi
    I have a standard single gu 10 in my porch but I'd like to get a smart one to be able to control it via app and my amazon echo.
    Do I need a bridge or can I just use an app and Alexa to control it like my yeelight bulbs?
    This is the one I was looking at
    Innr GU10 Smart LED Spot, Warm White, dimmable (Compatible with Hue*, Echo Plus & Alexa) RS 125 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01LT9UK7I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_aSTfAbFQNHW6Q

    That bulbs requires a Philips Hue Bridge.

    The only smart GU10 bulbs I know of are ones that require Philips Hue Bridge or the new Ikea ones, which require an Ikea Bridge.

    I suspect GU10 bulbs are too small to be wifi only, at least for now. I'd say zigbee only and require a bridge.
