The stuff from wirelesstags.net are generally very good. I have a bunch of sensors and their Reed sensors for detecting opening and closing of doors are very good. I hook it up with ifttt and turn on my Hue lights when I open and close my doors. Clearly not ground breaking stuff but useful.
The Hue lights are great but expensive. The Hue switch made things a lot more useful as well. I'm waiting for them to come out with a compatible light switch so I can control my recessed lights the same way as my light bulbs.
What they need to work on is a better outdoor camera with motion detection that doesn't get triggered by shadows or wind moving a tree branch. I've tried almost every solution and none is acceptable.

- georgehotelling 10y agoThe wirelesstags.net stuff looks good, but it also is tied to their cloud services. I couldn't find a local API to talk to their bridge device. The nice thing about Hue is that their bridge can run completely disconnected from the internet and still respond to RESTful API requests, which means that when Phillips end-of-lifes Hue my bridge will keep working with Home Assistant.
- steven2012 10y agoYes that was a concern of mine as well. They stated that if they do go out of business they would open source everything so that we could build our own solution. That's basically what convinced me to go all in with their product.
