    I don’t even know why people still use Hue anymore. It’s overpriced and zigbee and matter exist.

      Hue uses Zigbee though, doesn’t it? In my experience they’re the most reliable Zigbee lights with the most consistent light output, and work very well as routers.

      I run hue and home assistant and hue has given me about 300% fewer problems than either hass or z-wave have. The hardware is solid, and if they force me into an account I’ll just spin up zigbee2mqtt.

      I agree that Hue bulbs are expensive compared to others but they generally are considered some of the best bulbs for color accuracy and build quality. I’ve considered getting Hue bulbs before but definitely wont be now.
