What is a good starter setup for ZigBee? (lemmy.ca)

I am looking for a setup that does not need to phone home to the vendors servers. Is the Philips Hue Bridge a good hub? Can you work with most of the Philips Hue stuff without phoning home?

Do you already have a Home Assistant server set up? If so, I'd suggest getting a USB Zigbee Dongle like this one.

Any reason for picking the Sonoff instead of the Conbee II? (genuinly curious)

[–] jgkawell 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Honestly, just brand recognition for me. I have other Sonoff products that seem to work well. Never tried the Conbee II before.

Got it. I actually hadn't heard of Sonoff until after I had bought a Conbee II.

Thanks for the info, though

No problem!
