GU5.3 smart bulb option

Hi, Ive just moved into a new house and (almost!) all the bulbs are GU5.3 spotlights. In my old house we had a Philips Hue hub and smart bulbs in every room and found it very handy so I’d like to get back to a similar set up. Id bought a couple of (different types) of zigbee bulbs from Amazon over the last couple of weeks…

Hi,
Ive just moved into a new house and (almost!) all the bulbs are GU5.3 spotlights. In my old house we had a Philips Hue hub and smart bulbs in every room and found it very handy so I’d like to get back to a similar set up.
Id bought a couple of (different types) of zigbee bulbs from Amazon over the last couple of weeks but to no avail - one set kept flashing on and off, the other stayed on but neither were picked up by hue/Alexa…
Has anyone got any suggestions? Obviously I don’t want to rip out the wiring just to put in new hue bulbs (gu10 or similar), I don’t mind replacing the switches, but given the number of spot lights most panes have 2-3 switches on them so I’m not sure that it would work…

TIA,

yak
