To keep the ZB2MQTT we need to wait till you finish developemnt on v2, right? I actually finally ordered some additional LIFX bulbs now that I feel like the LIFX bulbs are up to par with what they should be as I was never quite satisfied with the previous driver and the lagging then the final straw was the turning on at the 1% light level actually goes to zero, the response time is instantaneous, you can use the lighting agent if you want, and no cost. So with the Berto driver it is absolutely the best of all aspects. 1% at 3am in your bedroom is still a light you're staring at in bed! ![]() Then the final issue was with recent LIFX firmware update the lowest 1% setting the Chowmain would set the lights at (could not turn off and or get 0% no matter what programming command you'd use) I'd get random turning on of lights at anytime of day or night at 1%. If you wanted to change the light quickly it would take anywhere up to 5-10 seconds before additional command would be accepted. However, there was always a lag with the Chowmain driver using the cloud. I originally had the Hue lights but I didn't like a hub and ditched that for LIFX a couple of years ago. ![]() I'll give this driver a try after also as maybe I can figure out a use for 20 LIFX bulbs now lol. So gave up and replaced all of them with Hue. ![]() The Axxon Engineering one says it uses local control but I could never get it to detect any of my bulbs no matter what I'd do even though they are detected right away in Home Assistant and Hubitat. Darn worst timing!!! I just replaced 20 LIFX bulbs with Hue because I couldn't get the Axxon driver working! The Chowmein one worked but it only uses cloud which I really don't like.
