One of the issues with these "standard" Zigbee devices is that you can't configure all of their settings.
I have a bunch of Aqara motion sensors and I can't set their timeouts or sensitivity unless I use the Aqara app and hub. Used as a normal Zigbee device they offer no configuration options.
- mdekkers 3y agoThat’s right. I have a significant investment in Hue devices since they are (or were, prior to sale of company) simply the best LED lamps available. The Hue app surfaces functionality that isn’t available on plain zigbee, such as soft on/off and motion sensor programs. It is possible to mimic this to an extent but the native implementation is superior. I also have a lot of different lamps that are either plain Zigbee or IKEA, and no matter the approach - node-red, home assistant, homekit - the “integrated” experience sucks compared to the Hue.
