Really?? I never noticed… I’ve been running Home Assistant before I ever bought my hue hub and bulbs. I have a few GLEDOPTO controllers and bulbs, but they don’t show Adaptive lighting via HomeKit. If I understand correctly, the homebridge added this functionality and home assistant didn’t bother. Presumably because it’s own adaptive lighting (same name) solution is 100x better.

If you want something good and reliable – Gledopto LED controller + LED strip + Zigbee USB stick

… ceiling, we wanted about 5meters of lightstip up there, but the cost would be pretty silly to get it done the official HUE way... So I picked up a Geldopto RGBWW controller and a nice 5meter strip (I think I spend around 80 euro). The Geldopto is zigbee/hue compatible so it functioned without issue in the HUE app, but since we consolidate everything in the Home app the homebridge hue plugin was the trick to get it done! Hope this helps.

The best way to do this is to put a table lamp in the same room as your pi, reset and pair each individually, however this may have changed, the raspbee II has a better range. Owning a raspbee I, i find it hard to pair anything more than 4-5M away from the pi.

This will allow you to use a wide variety of zigbee devices with homebridge, including ikea, aqara, many hue devices, etc. If your homebridge is not running on a raspberry pi, an ikea hub might work, but you'll probably be limited to ikea devices only. Also, you'd have to figure out which of the several "ikea" plugins to use. Alternatively, a hubitat hub might work, but it's expensive and does not support all ikea devices.

Scenes are WAY better using homebridge-hue. It’s been three years since I posted this and I still stand by my opinion.

Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.

Homebridge-hue has two functions. One is to provide HomeKit support for the original first-generation Hue bridge, which did not have HomeKit support. The other is to act as a interface for a Conbee zigbee gateway running the deCONz software. The Hue Bridge only supports lights and switches from Hue and a couple other brands. It doesn’t support other types of zigbee devices. For that you’ll need the aforementioned solution, or another bridge with zigbee support such as a SmartThings.

Just my $.02 and ymmv but, in my opinion, Hue scene support in HomeKit via the homebridge-hue plugin is *way* better than HomeKit scenes when you're controlling Hue lights. You cannot directly control Hue scenes in HomeKit natively; the "add scene to HomeKit" function in the Hue app merely creates a copy of the Hue scene in HomeKit without a live "connection" to the source Hue scene. This means that if you make changes to the scene in Hue, they won't be reflected in HomeKit, and vice versa. This is a no-go for me, since I use HomeKit, Hue remotes, Hue motion sensors and Lutron Aurora dimmers …

I have a raspbee, which is the GPIO HAT - Conbee is the USB stick - You use it with Homebridge-hue plugin, For me, the raspbee isn’t cutting with the range, aqara sensors drop off app and sometimes IKEA bulbs don’t always respond (like 1 out of a room of 4) - maybe due to the concrete construction of my house, maybe interference from the pi .. I may try a hue hub next, you can use them with the same plugin, they are relatively inexpensive, running another installation, one for each floor.

Your bulbs may work but for the Samsung sensors I think you need a Deconz Conbee stick (that’s why there is a (2] behind the sensor in the list.

E12-N1E bulb by Sengled previously failed to enumerate color temperature attribute even though the bulb is ct capable. This fix allows the bulb's color temperature to be correctly controlled (although existing bulbs must be removed and re-added in Deconz).

Hello, I have updated my Tasmota devices to v8.2.0 Elliot and homebridge-hue to v0.11.64. Since then my Tasmota devices disappeared from the Apple Home app. Since version 8.2.0 Tasmota supports Zigbee for Hue emulation. I have attached the two log files. What could be the problem? Thank you! homebridge-hue.json.gz homebridge.log.gz

As far as I know, those sensors only work with DeConz and a Zigbee capable device like the Raspbee. For the Philips Hue lights, you don’t need the Homebridge. You can use it to add non-HomeKit lights to HomeKit (i.e. IKEA Tradfri)

I installed a Zigbee outlet and paired it to Homebridge using a RaspBee II. It shows up as a light instead of an outlet, so if I say “turn off all the lights” it also turns off the outlet. There are instructions on how to change the device type in the link I posted but I’m completely lost. Like, I know enough to set up the Raspberry Pi, install RaspBee and Phoscon but this is waaaayyyy above my pay grade. Can anyone help?

Everything has been working perfectly for a couple of years. Problems started when I added two new bulbs the same way I always have to the Hue Bridge (which then show up in homekit natively and alexa through homebridge Alexa.) These new bulbs could not be controlled by my conbee paired switches even though everything seems to be working correctly as I test it and then watch the logs as it fails. Symptoms Devices Present: I can see my switches and bulbs in Homekit Assignment works: I can assign the bulb to the switch button Bulb action works: I can "test action" and the bulb responds as …

I recently purchased an Aqara wall switch, without the Hub as Amazon was sold out. The choice to purchase the switch was based on that it didn't require a neutral wire. I have a Zigbee hub (supplied by power company to monitor power consumption), but have never attempted to add a device to it. Since I wasn't able to purchase the Aqara hub, I was successful in pairing it to the HydroHome hub. The only other hub I have is a Hue. All other devices are HK or HB compatible? So my question is, what is the best method to connect Aqara switch to HB? Or is it even possible w/o the native hub?

Hi! I still didn’t install Homebridge to my Raspberry Pi, waiting to see if this is possible first... I have this Gledopto LED controller https://imgur.com/a/6UBbJAa that’s visible in my Hue app... My question is, if I install Homebridge on a Raspberry Pi, is there a plugin that will expose this controller as a light (like in the Hue app) to the Home app (Homekit)? Thanks!

Hi all, I’m an Apple HomeKit user. I’ve been slowly building a smart home during the quarantine. When it comes to Philips Hue, I’m sort of discovering that you can either do a lot hacking and/or very limited automations within HomeKit and Homebridge OR you can use just the Philips Hue app, which if I’m being honest, although you have a lot of control, it doesn’t have the best UI. I recently purchased the Philips Hue motion sensor. I would like to access the temperature sensor within that and automate it so that if the indoor temp goes above, let’s say, 80 F, a Wemo mini outlet Switch will …

Hey everbody.. how is it possible to connect aqara sensors to the Philips Hue Bridge to later on connect them to homekit via the hombridge-hue plugin? I am very interested in some aqara sensors and if i understood the homebridge-hue wiki correctly, the homebridge-hue plugin can expose aqara stuff if its connected to a hue bridge. Is there anything i am missing because i can‘t find a tutorial online on how to connect the sensors to the hue bridge. Thank you for your help

… wondering if you could add support for reporting temperature using floor temperature if the temperature measurement is done using the floor sensor for the Elko Super RF Thermostat. Here is an example of the sensor information as reported by the deCONZ REST-API: { "config": { "heatsetpoint": 2500, "locked": false, "mode": null, "offset": 0, "on": true, "reachable": true, "temperaturemeasurement": "floor sensor" }, "ep": 1, "etag": "31921b7fe84c562bbee8074187212d28", "lastseen": "2021-08-04T18:07Z", "manufacturername": "ELKO", "modelid": "Super TR", "name": "Thermostat", "state": { …

Yes, that’s right, I heard the new alexas were zigbee enabled - the problem is the homebridge-hue plugin is only compatible with either hue hubs or conbee / raspbee I think you are at the end of the path with your current setup - however, you could buy a conbee II, some kind of aqara sensor and aqara mini switch and you can start to branch out into more of an automated system rather than voice activated. You could also add the excellent Alexa-Homebridge skill and then remove your voice commands from amazon servers.
