This is annoying, I just had to buy a new hue hub because they stopped supporting my old one, now this shit. Guess I have to migrate out of hue hub and set everything up again.
Go with Home Assistant and never use some proprietary hub again.
Is there a list of stuff it's compatible with? I have a pi I'm running some shit on now, automation may be fun if I can avoid proprietary garbo.
It's compatible with everything. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/
Oh damn it can be a voice assistant or whatever they're called too?
Yeah alright I'll be looking into that tomorrow lol
Yes for sure with Google or Alexa and I think HA is working on their own voice stuff, but haven't looked into it too deeply as I haven't really ever utilized voice commands apart from tinkering with them briefly. A spare Pi works great but you can also use other stuff like a cheap Dell Optiplex micro or and old laptop. If you use the Pi, I'd recommend installing a small SSD with it and running it off that versus an SD card. The card won't last long with all the read/writes.
