Actually, earlier today I wrote some MCU code to control my HUE lights, and I figured "hey, why not build a controller to make my christmas lights controlled by the HUE hub". Guess this news answers that.
Seen together with the Phillips Hue bulbs I have being noisy as hell, hue just became a lot less interesting.
I hope there will be an open source system and manufacturers whose bulbs can easily be integrated. Hopefully some that don't make a lot of noise.
- rblatz 11y agoI've got Phillips Hue bulbs, multiple zigbee GE bulbs that work (well until I update) with hue, multiple z wave switches, a nest. I've been able to control all of it using OpenHab running on a raspberry pi that us a z-stick zwave radio attached. OpenHab is hard to get running but immensely powerful. Especially with the Astro binding, you could for example determine when the sun is shining through a window and close the blinds for each window as direct sun starts shining through it. OpenHab 2 is in development and is supposed to be a lot more user friendly.
- voltagex_ 11y agoDo you mean RF noise or audible noise?
- bborud 11y agoAudible noise. Perhaps related to the PWM? They're somewhat dim as well. Not exactly a quality product.
