Hello Eddie my Philips bulb act a router don’t shows the change state of router on Apple home app. If my light bulb off it don’t show off state of bulb on Apple home app but it keep showing ON state.
friend, thank you for your excellent work. Can I make a mix of zigbee switches, hue lamps and Yeelight or zigbee lamps on the home assistant, controlling everything remotely or locally with a hue bridge and use the ambilight and music function with this mix of brands? Does it work without loss of functionality? In this brand mix scenario, would Google Home work normally?
Samuel ... The hue app will tell which brands work its hub. With Z2M and HA - you can mix and match zigbee brands and its products. The ambilight function would only apply for the hue products and its friends.
So I was thinking of getting some ikea devices into homebridge and HomeKit. I already have a hue hue so I was wanting to find a way to get the IKEA devices working through the hue hub, it’s this possible? And will I be able to do things like firmware updates?
I wasn’t able to get the correct configuration for Lutron Aurora rotary dimmer. Z2M recognizes the brightness increase. Decrease but does not display via HomeKit
Hi Eddie! Another great video. I wasn’t able to get the correct configuration for Lutron Aurora rotary dimmer. Z2M recognizes the brightness increase. Decrease but does not display via HomeKit. Thoughts?
Can you please access Z2M frontend > Click on the device > Settings (Specific) > Check if there are any options to tweak on how the device should work.
Hello Ted - from what i Know .... theres no real number on the devices to connect to Z2M. As long as you have routers spread evenly across your home which in case could be your bulbs as well. Will work fine. I installed for a customer villa around 78 devices i,e, switches, curtain motors, dimmers and bulbs ... Worked fine across 2 floors.
I have connected Philips Hue Buttons in the Zigbee2MQTT, and they are showing up in HomeBridge acessories, but I can't see them on my Home app ? how do I make them turn light on/off?
This videos are just so usefull! Thank you so much. I have a question for you - I have Z2MQTT installed and connected to home assistant -- and then home assistant connected to Apple Homekit and also Alexa. Does it make sense to connect to Apple Homkit from homebridge? or is it just fine with Home assistant?... What is your recommendation?
Came here as a result of Philips changing the terms (after purchase) of my Hue lights to require an online account to do anything. Hopefully dumping the Philips hub and switching to Zigbee2MQTT is the solution to keeping are home private from Philip's "partners". Otherwise it's going to be a case of binning all Philips products.
Does any zigbee light bulb will work for hue bridge ?
How to know or where to find zigbee bulbs for my hue bridge ?
Please check out this link with all 3rd party devices working with the Hue Hub iconnecthue.com/supported-devices/
Wonder if Reolink new floodlight can be used with this. It is listed as loT in the Reolink app
Well check if it enables a RTSP link

You have to keep your smart bulbs on 24/07 - dont turn them off

Is your dimmer now working?
@@Paw_Low no I switched back to Philips Hue bridge for my aurora dimmers. I’ll bet you can do it in Home Assistant though
I use zigbee2mqtt as well ... but philips hue does work locally.
Your absolutely right ... the video shows that with Z2M you can integrate Philips Hue products without the need of an additional hub
Eddie is there a limit of number of zigbee devices you can connect via MQTT / zigbee? And what is best way to convert 66 bulbs from Hue hub to zigbee?

Hey Francis ... Its definitely fine from HA :)
How to I use this with Google home?
Hey Joe - you use the Homebridge google plugin to add the devices to Googler Home. However philips hue hub as a direct integration as well.
@@eddiedsuza i cant use google home with hue without a hub.. I have zigbee installed but i cant seem to get the google home to connect
@@eddiedsuza can you point me in the direction? I can not find any direct intergration without use of a hub
