FYI these are white, not white ambiance, meaning color temp is not adjustable. But still a good deal. I ordered a few the other day for my laundry room

it's not that bright @ 800 lumens / 65w

Same. I use HA as my main automation system. It's great for integrating different systems. But you still can have inherent limitations within whatever you're integrating. e.g., I can make a motion sensor on one bridge control a light on another (or do pretty much whatever else) via HA but I still have the limits for the number/type of devices and however that affects its performance. And some things are just better done within the native system. You can sometimes pair things outside of their systems as you probably can these Hue bulbs as general Zigbee devices. But then you often lose features of that system.

Agree simple is usually better. It's easy when getting into home automation to make things a lot more complicated than they really need to be. Then you get the maintenance/troubleshooting that comes along with that. Sometimes end up spending way more time messing with things to keep it running right than it ever saves you. ; ) I wince every time I push the button to update the Z-wave/Zigbee integrations in HA.

Why would you ever want to put a hue, smartphone/hub controllable bulb in a laundry room? A room that you would only ever want to put lights on via a light switch in front of the machine.

It seems pointless and a waste of money for a smart bulb to go in a space like that.

I don't mean to be rude. This is a serious question because I just don't understand the logic at all lol

This way when his hub glitches out and goes into permanent disco mode his whole house can be a bad ass dance party— including the laundry room! Anyone got some molly?

Right?

Hue lights work remarkably well with motion sensors, routines, schedules, etc. There are a plethora of reasons to use them when your home is in the Hue ecosystem. Some people even just get all lights to be on one platform.

This is exactly it. I have a motion sensors and bulbs in can lights in my mudroom, pantry, utility areas. I have a split between lutron casiita and hue in my house. Anything where I want a transitional bulb I use Lurton. In areas where I want motion controls I use hue (under cabinet lighting is the ticket). I also combine the hue motion sensor with the runlesswires switches for a completely clean install. It may seem dumb to others but I love opening a pantry or utility area, or walking in and it just working then shutting off after 5min. That is work $100 for the bulb, sensor and switch to me

I said my question was serious, why did you reply snarky? lol

I have the philips hue bridge and some lights myself, but I don't use them in rooms with a simple light switch. That's just why I wanted to see how others are using it...

Reread the way you wrote your comment.


"Why would you ever", "A room that you would only ever…"


It reads a bit exaggerated and grandiose, as though anyone outside of your proposed scenario is an extremist or something. There are other ways to communicate genuine questions without sounding accusatory or diminutive.

The response wasn't trying to be snarky, but just to match the tone of the initial comment.

That's what I was thinking too but since these are only white, may not be perfect for kitchen where you want to have a bit soft hue. I would guess these are more for study room etc.

No, these are awful. I put 4 hue BR30s in my kitchen and I couldn't see well enough to cook due to the lack of light. I ended up returning them and purchasing LifeX bulbs instead at 1100 lumens ea
