Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have a BeeWi BBL227 smart LED bulb. The company once supported an iPhone app called Smartpad to control it. The app (and the company website) are no longer around.
The bulb has:
Can anybody suggest an app (ideally "free" the way SmartPad was) that I can use to control this bulb?

iPhone SE (2nd generation)
Sure.
Perhaps there may (or not) be something later/newer came from their technology?
BeeWi SmartPad is now OtioHome for PC - Windows 7,8,10,11 (+mac/iOS version)

Last updated 03/2020 (Didn't seem to have morphed into later full macOS app.)
So this item seems to be orphaned now(?) with no support past four years ago.

Ran in old macOS with BlueStacks/Noxplayer Emulator, derived from PC Windows 11/10.
Doubt this evolved into some newer fully recent AppleOS software; +w/o emulation.
..No telling what other bits could be in-hiding; under a rock, online..🤣?
An LED bulb, without software backward compatible; for use in recent AppleOS, is a stretch.
Thought to see where any breadcrumbs may have marked a trail; birds musta got 'em?
Maybe someone else with extra time on their hands may give it further consideration.
I got it to work today, but thanks for checking.
I was hoping to get it to work with the Apple My Home app, but it does not seem to be supported, or maybe the Apple app does not support Bluetooth devices, or maybe you have to have an Apple HomePod to make it work.... regardless, I can control the bulb now.
It was green when I turned it on yesterday - how appropriate for St. Patrick's Day - but I want other colours too.
Would you mind sharing how you got the bulb to connect? Please
How can I find a replacement app for my BeeWi BBL227 bulb after Smartpad?
