Love to know if anyone has had success with this. Can pair using touchlink in Hue Essentials. Bulb adds quickly but doesnt respond to on/off. Temp change and brightness working fine

We have technology like zigbee, zwave, thread and even more basic things like Bluetooth or WiFi with local access Yet dexerto.com/entertainment/aw… There’s no reason a bed, light bulb, blind, thermostat, house alarm or similar should need a working internet connection and server.

The heavens froze over! I'm trying #HomeAssistant and it's all #SwitchBot's fault. Why? They just released direct integration of their products in #HA, so I decided to give it a go! notenoughtech.com/featured/s…

Just a reminder that if you're a content creator, hackers will ask you to download their zipped up contract and give you a password to open their fantastic virus. Just send them your own contract instead, as I have...
