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?

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

      Conbee2 is of a previous generation and cannot handle the number of zigbee devices that newer ones can. I had a Conbee2 and I vastly prefer the newer ones like the sonoff and the tubeszb controllers.

        I see. Currently the Conbee II I have fits my needs, but its good to know that there’s an upgrade option when I need it.

        Thanks!

        +1 for the tubeszb PoE Zigbee radio! Flawless so far (once I figured out what I was doing that is lol; but that’s on me)

      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
