Zigbee2mqtt and a cheap zigbee dongle is all you need really. You could add home assistant for a better interface but there is no need to involve Phillips or the Internet. One of the huge advantages of zigbee imo.
- iaml 6y agoThank you, that's cool to know. But if it applies to all zigbee devices, there is little point to choose phillips devices specifically, no?
