Yup. I got mad at Hue for forcing an account, so I got a $20 USB zigbee hub and spent 2 hours swapping all my Hue stuff over to it with zigbee2mqtt with Home Assistant. I've never felt better about my ability as a consumer to give a vendor the middle finger. I gleefully tweeted them some pics of my Hue hub in the trash.

- smith7018 3y agoI recently did the same and have been thrilled with it though I'm sad that the bulbs don't transition to new colors. They immediately change which looks a little jarring.
- acidburnNSA 3y agoI had the same thought at first since that's the default, but it's configurable! In the zigbee2mqtt control panel, click the device, choose "Settings (specific)", and change transition to 1. The look/feel ends up being indistinguishable from the Hue defaults.
- xd1936 3y agoHey nice! Is there an equivalent in ZHA?
- DavideNL 3y agoThank you for the info! Why is that not the default... :/ For reference: "Settings > Devices & Services > Zigbee Home Automation > Configure > Global Options > Default light transition time" = 1 PS. Not sure what this does exactly: "Enable enhanced light color/temperature transition from an off-state"

- agloe_dreams 3y agoBingo. I just used the standard Zigbee plugin to do the same but purely so I could manage everything in one place. A good trick others should know is that if you have any Hue Switches, you can use them to rapidly reset a bump by holding the on and off switches down for like 10 seconds next to a bulb.
