I know we already got another thread about this topic, but I wanted to highlight the stance of home assistant for this topic.
I really don’t see how you can argue with this post. Well, I can, but I really don’t want to think about it.
I don’t use Home Assistant but this is still saddening to see. Hue was always my favorite to recommend to tech folks because of the local API being pretty easy. I’m sure that will go too. Lifx was another favorite of mine but don’t work in my new house with multiple wifi APs with the same name. (I got a shitty little extender with a different name and use them in my basement.) Wiz is cheap but to my knowledge there’s no public API so I have no idea if it works with Home Assistant.
@JackbyDev @hillbicks Philips Hue works with the zingbee protocol. You can integrate every single IOT in #homeassistant or you integrate the hub. I use the internal #zigbee protocol with the #conbee usb stick and it work flawlessly. With zingbee you can use also other IOTs from different manufacturers like IKEA or osram or some Asian brands. Just have a look at the Homeassistant homepage for all existing integrations.
@JackbyDev @hillbicks sorry buddy, just saw this post from @homeassistant . Seems Philips is trying something bad: https://fosstodon.org/@homeassistant/111109147965184069
Yeah, idk how the Lemmy to Mastodon stuff works exactly but you’re replying to a comment I made on a thread about that Toot.
