Hi everyone, I’m diving into the world of smart lighting and cameras, and I have a few questions and experiences to share. First, I recently purchased some Philips Hue bulbs and am trying to connect them directly to my SmartThings Hub. I’ve heard that resetting the bulbs is a necessary step, but I’m not entirely sure about the best method. Does anyone have tips or tricks for a seamless connection? I’m also curious about others’ experiences with integrating different lighting brands into their SmartThings setup.
On another note, I’ve been exploring Wyze cameras for outdoor use. I’m impressed by their features, but I’m running into some issues with advanced settings not showing up. Has anyone encountered this and found a solution? It would be great to hear from those who have successfully configured their Wyze cameras for outdoor monitoring.
I’m also looking into PurpleAir air quality sensors. I came across an Edge driver that seems promising, but I’m not entirely sure how to set it up. If anyone has experience with this or similar setups, I’d love to hear about your experiences and any tips you might have.
Lastly, I’m experimenting with creating custom lighting scenes using my SmartThings Hub. I’m trying to set up a routine where specific lights dim and change color temperature based on the time of day. If anyone has advice on how to structure these routines or troubleshoot common issues, I’d be grateful!
Looking forward to hearing from the community and learning from your experiences. Happy smart home tinkering!
