  • zigbee2mqtt

    Zigbee 🐝 to MQTT bridge 🌉, get rid of your proprietary Zigbee bridges 🔨

    • I use a "SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus ZigBee 3.x.0 TI CC2652P + CP2102N Coordinator" with a long USB cable.

    As user cricalix points out, there's also a version with an EFR32MG21, I'm not sure how they compare nowadays, see discussion on GitHub: https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/discussions/14261

  • adaptive-lighting

    Adaptive Lighting custom component for Home Assistant

    • My home has never felt this "smart" before. Every time my lights turns on I find the color and brightness to be perfect.

  • homegui

    A simple web GUI + automation to work with zigbee2mqtt

    • FWIW, I had similar experiences twice:

    First with IKEA when they changed the lights on-power-up behavior on upgrade. This resulted in a hub becoming a 25 euro cc2531 stick on raspberry pi + Zigbee2mqtt and HomeBridge for integration with HomeKit.

    And the past February Apple decided my Apple TV 3 was not good enough for being a home hub, and botched the entire home in the process, while I was away.

    So now the whole HomeKit nonsense is out and instead there is a lightweight Rust app with a simple text file config doing both the orchestration and providing the light html UI.

    https://github.com/ayourtch/homegui - in case anybody finds it useful.

    As a bonus the users in the household praise the new system being much more responsive..

    I am missing “turn all the lights off when last person leaves”, and full editing the colors via GUI, but not enough to bother to implement it :-)
