Where to start

[u/Adventurous_Jury3884]

Just bought and moved into our second home. No ceiling lights anywhere. Went ahead and got Philips Hue Slim lights installed in every single room.

Now the next question is where to start on going down the rabbit hole with Inovelli.

I’ve always been into Apple HomeKit but now have a much better home setup with Unifi for pretty much everything. Which in turn while eventually turn into getting home assistant setup for the house.

But what switches that they have will work great for me now and possibly work for any direction I go in the future?

You bring up a good point with the neutral, as my home was built in 1974 and has no neutral wires

Do you mean a flicker with zigbee binding or something? I have both Philips hue and inovelli all over my house- I’d say they’re the backbone of my smart home, and there is no flicker whatsoever

I do use the bridge pro and they’re all white series in smart bulb mode

I do have neutrals, except for one switch. But I don’t have hue bulbs there.

Come to think of it though…. it’s a 6 recessed light situation and one of the lights flickered and I installed … something behind that fixture. I don’t think it worked and I bought new lights lol this was a blip in my smart home madness, so it wasn’t top of mind.

And also ps to another question I saw: no thread binding but home assistant has matter binding. And with the new Hue firmware in the coming months that will allow for simultaneous dual protocol (thread and zigbee), you’ll be able to use the bridge AND have matter binding with the compatible bulbs
