Smart Home Hubs

I prefer the Huemote app over the Philips Hue app. Much less of a hassle for me. If other apps present you the same issue, it may be a network issue. Every now and then, I’ll have at least 1 bulb that shows “unreachable”. I haven’t figured out why though, cuz at other times, it shows to be “reachable”.

Have the same thing. Pretty nice dev community too where people write open source code you can add to your smartthings hub.

Makes it really flexible.

I control my lights, door locks, ecobee and cameras (to an extent) with it.

The best thing about it is the routines. For instance, when I run my goodnight routine, it shuts off the lights, locks the front door, turns my camera system on and adjusts the ecobee.

Where I run the good morning, it adjusts the lights to 20% dinner and adjusts the ecobee for day time.

I'm adding a garage door controller to it soon too.

Pretty cool stuff.

If you check slick deals, they usually have them for around $50

Couldn't you just get a wifi enabled smart plug and go that route instead of dropping the $50 for the Hue bridge?
