I recently added a Hue bridge with 2 bulbs that are in lamps. I did set them up in HomeKit to act as 1 accessory. Obviously the lamps need to be “on” in order to work through the Home app/Siri. But I am wondering if there’s a way through Automations to turn on both bulbs through a real dumb switch? Obviously one bulb would...
my house is set up where the dumb wall switches are only there to cycle power, in case my Hue bulbs decide to misbehave. so the dumb switches stay on constantly, and scenes and automations rule the world of lighting in my house. my partner knows not to touch the switches.

Mastodon thinks Lemmy’s privacy stinks. What say you? (raddle.me)
Federated services have always had privacy issues but I expected Lemmy would have the fewest, but it's visibly worse for privacy than even Reddit....
