What benefit does it have instead of getting a dynamic DNS entry and port forwarding on your internet connection?
We got to lamps that are named Ed and Fred.
People. What a bunch of bastards.
The special features are hard to replicate. Hue sync won’t work for example. That’s why I still use the hue hub in addition to a zigbee stick for non-hue lights and switches. But if they want a login I’d rather drop hue sync and just add the lamps to my zigbee stick.
There is no need to reflash them. Thy’re zigbee, you can just connect them to a different hub or to a zigbee dongle.
Thanks for the great explanation!
