Well, look who's looking like an idiot for setting up my entire house with Hue lights recently after running two bulbs with local control for years... sigh it's getting mighty frustrating having to deal with companies hoarding your data.
Those lights use ZigBee, right? Should've work with HomeAssistant and a ZigBee dongle?
Yeah, I'll look into that. It's just a shame to have to do extra work and spend extra money because a company decides to screw you over after your purchase.
Know a good ZigBee dongle for home assistant?
I just bought the skyconnect. It will also support Thread soon!
