  • Any Zigbee2MQTT users? Using Hue without a Hue Bridge
    Check out diyHue to use the Hue app with Zigbee2MQTT without a physical Hue bridge. I've been running it for almost a year with zero problems using the Hue Essentials app. Source: over 1 year ago
  • WiZ Dynamic Colors
    Finally, I'd like to mention DiyHUE, (HA addon and integration availables) which is basically a HUE emulator that allow you to add a lot of non-hue lights into the HUE ecosystem, and control them using the official HUE app, which has a really nice UI and the whole "hue labs" formulas and custom effects included, which is awesome.

  • Hue Bridge backup
    Maybe diyHue is what you're looking for. As a warning, consider it in alpha stage. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Is there software to control disparate color light brands into single interesting scenes a-la Hue scenes?
    There’s a few projects out there like this: https://openrgb.org/ and https://diyhue.org/ there’s probably a few others too. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Using non Phillips Zigbee bulbs in HomeKit via Hue Bridge?
    Ther also exists a Hue Bridge emulator called DIYhue. I didn‘t try it yet but it seems promising. This Software can run on a Pi and emulates a Hue Bridge. Therefore your official Hue app can discover it. On the other end the Software connect with the real Bridge but also with third party devices. For example over the ConBee II ZigBee USB Stick.
