FINALLY a video for all of us who want to save some money! These work out of the box and most are on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/shop/smarthomesolver/list/1Q6HYSGUNF697?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_XJBFPBYJPN4ETJ6377J8
It seems like IKEA has really botched their smart home stuff by not making them work well for the power users that tell everyone else what to buy.
I bought into the hue ecosystem for bulbs like 8 or 9 years ago. The normal bulbs are still chugging along after all that time, but I started using the colored bulbs with the hue sync app on my pc for gaming about 4 years ago, and the two of those color ones I had just died last year.
New ones cost like $60, so I tried two other brands that work with zigbee, but neither of them work with the hue sync.
Does anybody know if there is a 3rd party bulb out there that does?
Eufy lock, no ability to clone/copy users to another Eufy lock within the Eufy app!
Real hassle when you have many users and multiple locks.
Talked to them, no plans to fix app. Should be pretty basic function.
Very helpful video, thanks a lot!
