The Hue lights were organized in the Hue app.

When I added the Hue integration to Home Assistant, Home Assistant confirmed the rooms for the lights nicely in one screen.

However, when accessing the Hue lights via Home Assistant in Apple Home and Google Home, the lights are not organized by room. It’s a giant mess that makes the Apple|Google Home app unusable for anything but voice access with Siri|Gemini.

I’m still using the Hue hub, not the ZBT-1/Zigbee yet.

I was always very pleased with the #IKEA Tradfri E27 #Zigbee light bulbs, but some of them are now failing (after about 10 years, so fine).

However, their replacements are *so* junky. They hiss at full brightness, aren't as bright as the older ones, and one failed on me after just a few weeks.

I don't want to be buying #Hue to get a bit of quality! 😭

Goodbye Philips Hue 👋

I finally finished replacing all my Hue lights with Caseta switches.

While I will miss the color temperature control, I am excited that I can attach a switch anywhere that works and looks just like a normal switch, no wires needed!

I am irrationally gleeful today because I replaced a #Philips #Hue Bridge v2's power adapter with a USB-A-to-2.5mm-barrel cable.

Now I just plug in the USB-A cable to my new #Anker Prime Charger, 200W 6-Port #GaN Charging Station.

So, I've replaced 4 devices' power supplies with cables that plug into this sweet charging station. A Hue hub, my #Hubitat hub, and two 15w #Apple power supplies for my #HomePod minis.

Now awaiting the cables (USB-A-to-2.1mm-barrel) for my two Eufy Homebase 2's!! 🎉🍾

Bulbs from #PhilipsHue are definitely the worst when it comes down to pairing.

Wanted to re-pair an old Hue bulb because I never brought in into #HomeAssistant and forgot about it.

Official instructions? 5 times on and off for 5 seconds each. When it worked the bulb blinks.

This is successful pretty often, but not every time. I sat there for 5 Minutes and turned this thing on 5 seconds, off 5 seconds, on 5 seconds, off 5 seconds, on 5 seconds, off 5 seconds… Nothing. It's so annoying.

But there's a second way: "Buy more hardware from Philips. The dimmer switch can bring a bulb into pairing mode too! Maybe… But please buy it!"

I'm about to drive to IKEA to buy a Tradfri bulb and live with the slight difference in color.

Nogen der har erfaring med Hue Festavia lyskæde til udendørs brug? Nyeste udgave skulle være egnet til det også. Er det kvalitet der holder eller kender du til nogle gode udendørs lyskæder - de behøver ikke være “smarte”.
Anyone got any experience using Hue Festivia outdoors? Is it good quality that lasts? Or do you know of any similar good string light products - doesn't have to be "smart”.
