It's been a steep learning curve but it's cool that most of the stuff just works (TP-Link #Kasa and #Tapo, #Ikea Zigbee, #Philips#Hue (using the Hue Bridge, not directly connected to my Zigbee coordinator).

#Philips adds a piece of foam inside #battery packaging to make it look like there's moar inside. The foam size is just a tad smaller than the opening showing the batteries inside. You only notice when you take out the last battery...

De spullen die we vroeger gebruikten, waren van onszelf. Maar steeds meer apparaten in huis staan in verbinding met het internet. Daarmee mengen fabrikanten zich in jouw bezit en jouw vrijheid. #privacy #Netflix#Roomba#Amazon#Philips#HP
We have a mixture of Tradfri and Hue lamps in our house, which all worked fine together until today. Now the Hue bridge is only sporadically connecting to the Tradfri bulbs, if at all. Has Philips done a dirty and blocked the cheap Ikea bulbs with a firmware update? 🤔
Es existier glaube ich keine schlimmere Zeitverschwendung, als sogenannte SMARTHOME Geräte zu installieren. Insbesondere Glühbirnen.
Ich habe, bis auf die Amazon Echo-Geräte, noch nicht ein einziges Gerät in Händen gehalten, das sich auf Anhieb und leicht installieren / einrichten ließe.
