Anyone have any experience with these? I have a whole hue system and am about to add cameras. Deciding between Reolink or simply adding these.I know Reolink are better but I do already have a whole hue ecosystem.
Same whole HUE ecosystem here 100+ devices. I have been looking into over the past few weeks myself. --- I haven't decided yet, either. Quick FYI, this two pack was for sale on woot two days ago, for approx $65 in white. There was an additional 20% off with a purchase of 3+ HUE products.Maybe check out if there's still available there 1st. Just in case.I like Reolink for their PTZ options, but with the HUE system, I'm on the fence too.

I get it though… it's simpler than it sounds. You're overlooking the small add-on switches and motion sensors. Before the bulbs received the sensing upgrade, multiple motion sensors were required; before the Hue app update, there were Hue and Hue Sync—a dedicated set of Hue Play items like light bars, TV strips, and the sync box—originally had some layover lighting representing separate areas of the same room for lighting and play in the same room. Then came integration into Samsung OLED instead of the Sync Box. As I consider all this, I have a few custom Play lamps, a rear floodlight, and some outdoor motion sensors n light strips. Nearly every room in my house has between five lights and devices at the minimum and nineteen in the master bedroom, and I also have some Hue Lutron gear.
TLDR
Basically, I enjoy incredibly comforting and detailed mood lighting (peace to play).

Unless you absolutely need your cameras triggering your Hue lights in the native app, go with Reolink. The Hue cameras don't have SD card slots or local storage, meaning you're forced into a monthly subscription just to see recorded clips. Reolink gives you free local storage and better quality, and you can still tie them together later with Home Assistant if you want.
