minus-square@gruelinkEnglish56•9 months agoIoT stuff isn’t safe to use unless it’s flashed with a third-party Free Software firmware like Tasmota or ESPHome.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish29•9 months agoI mean IKEA is fine. It’s entirely ZigBee, there’s no internet.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish0•edit-29 months agoBut the green part of RGB only works if you’re using their app Edit: downvoter, please let me know what’s bothering you about this?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•9 months agoFrom what I read, it’s not a bug. Many bulbs trade on the green LED for more variation in white. Red/Blue serve a function to make whites warmer or cooler, green has no such function. And because most people use white, they ditched the green LED. That’s why the green it has is more yellowish than you would expect. It probably also means the bulb API has no dedicated green setting, which is why the remote and 3rd party apps don’t have proper green settings. It’s a bit of speculation though, not entirely sure. Apparently older Hue bulbs also do this.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•9 months agoThat’s interesting. Funnily enough, we did try the one color GU10 we have today and this one does work perfectly.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•9 months agoReally? Huh. I’m just using the PM2.5 and temperature sensors.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•9 months agoUnfortunately yeah. We’ve tried the E27 and green just didn’t work. Thought it was broken and returned it, told them why. “Oh, you used the remote, right? It only works with the app, it’s been like that for years and hasn’t been fixed yet”
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•9 months agoOh so that’s just a bug rather than a feature lock. Im only using mine in home assistant that should act as an app anyway.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•9 months agoNo, that’s just the problem. We only use ours in home assistant as well and it didn’t work. It’s got to be the Ikea app.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•9 months agoOh okay, I’ll be sure to avoid then until they fix that.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•9 months agoESPhome for the win! I have like 12 smart plugs with power monitoring flashed with ESPhome
minus-square@gruelinkEnglish2•9 months agoI have 8! (They’re literally the only smart home devices I have so far, although Home Assistant automatically detected my Roku and my printer.)
