prob the Phillips bulbs. Sadly they don't sit flush in most sockets, despite using the same fixture name.

- nkrisc 11y agoThe Philips Hue bulb is the only one I'm really aware of, but I didn't think they were cheap. From the post it sounded like he was using something similar to the Hue bulbs but much cheaper.
- taylorwc 11y agoI don't think so--the author addresses it. From the post: >My WiFi bulbs are some unknown, eBay sourced devices that use a crappy mobile app for control.
- tjohns 11y agoDefinitely not the Philips Hue bulbs. Those use a REST API on port 80 for network control, whereas these bulbs are using a proprietary binary protocol on port 5577.
- nkrisc 11y agoFrom what I've been able to find about the Philips API, there's also a modicum of authentication while these appear happy to accept input from anyone on the network.
