I’ve been diving into the world of Zigbee and have come across some interesting discussions about the differences between Zigbee Home Automation (HA) and Zigbee Light Link (LL). From what I gather, these two protocols have distinct cluster sets, and while LL devices can communicate with HA on shared channels, there are limitations. My curiosity led me to explore whether my SmartThings hub would need a new radio to natively support LL devices or if both protocols can coexist on the same network.
In my setup, I’ve noticed some Hue bulbs aren’t integrating as smoothly as I’d hoped, which made me wonder if the issue stems from protocol incompatibility or missing functionalities in SmartThings. I’d love to hear from others who have successfully integrated LL devices or have insights into overcoming these challenges. Have you encountered similar issues, and how did you resolve them? Your experiences and tips would be invaluable as I continue to expand my smart home ecosystem!
It’s fascinating to see how different protocols interact and the potential they hold for creating a seamless smart home environment. I’m eager to learn more and hopefully find solutions to make my setup even more efficient and enjoyable.
