I found some used #PhillipsHue 75W bulbs on Amazon for about $30 a piece but they got cancelled 😓

I just want some durable #zigbee bulbs that don't cost as much as a AAA video game on launch day!

Nearly all my #sengled bulbs have burnt out, so I thought I'd just buy name brand but FFS #Phillips; $170 for four 75W bulbs!? I own cheaper TVs!

Got some #Sengled RGB light bulbs to play around with. Will use them with @homeassistant via #Zigbee. https://us.sengled.com/products/sengled-smart-led-multicolor-a19-bulb

@greppy aside from #hue bulbs, I'm a fan of #sengled #zigbee bulbs. The color ones don't do so great with white light compared to their daylight white bulbs, but otherwise, they're great.

The plugs should act as mesh repeaters (a good thing). I've got some innr ones, but might go with ThirdReality since they claim 15A instead of 10A.

@greppy I went for a bit of a hybrid approach after one of the first times #winkhub imploded, which was cloud-centric. All my #homeautomation is primarily handled by a #hubitat Elevation (the older C-5), with most interior lights handled by a #philipshue hub, mostly because it predated most of my current hardware, that talks to the HE.

The #hue lights are a mix of A19 ("normal" E-26/E-27 bulbs) and BR30 ("recessed") lights. Exterior bulbs are all #sengled #zigbee lights.

@mhamzahkhan The ones I bought are from #Sengled and yes they say they do on the box. I haven't installed any yet and honestly don't have my #HomeAssistant set up to give me much information about that (I got half way through a tutorial and never finished).

Recently built a #zigbee based rain gauge base on this article: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/diy-zigbee-rain-gauge/255379 and using a #sengled open / close sensor.
For those with battery-powered #smarthome devices and cold winters (I’m in #colorado), should I bring it in for the winter or will the battery be okay in cold weather? I don’t expect we’ll get much rain the remainder of the year, but I did mount it on top of our pergola, so I’ll have to bring out the ladder again…
