Well, I've finally done it. I've acuired more smart light bulbs for the house and in the process have begun mixing brands. Only the TP-Link Tapo bulbs support
#Matter, which made the initial setup very nice. My existing
#LIFX bulbs never had Matter to begin with. They all integrate with
#GoogleAssistant, but to get fun color scenes, I have to use their respective brand app. Also, I don't know when it happened, but
#TIL my 1st gen Google Home speaker received Matter support and can act as a hub for the lights, which is neat.
