Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

- Is the 50 device (13-accessory) limit purely due to bridge hardware? Anyone aware of plans for Signify to release an updated bridge (even if more expensive)?

Any Zigbee2MQTT users? Using Hue without a Hue Bridge
Check out diyHue to use the Hue app with Zigbee2MQTT without a physical Hue bridge. I've been running it for almost a year with zero problems using the Hue Essentials app.

When the fuck is hue going to release a better hub?
I would highly suggest you run diyHue on either an old computer, or a Pi. diyHue is a hub emulator, it can take many sources, e.g. a Hue hub, Home Assistant, etc, then make them appear as a single hub in the Hue app.

WiZ Dynamic Colors
Finally, i'd like to mention DiyHUE, (HA addon and integration availables) which is basically a HUE emulator that allow you to add a lot of non-hue lights into the HUE ecosystem, and control them using the official HUE app, which has a really nice UI and the whole "hue labs" formulas and custom effects included, which is awesome

Hue Bridge backup
Maybe diyHue is what you're looking for. As a warning, consider it in alpha stage.

Is there software to control disparate color light brands into single interesting scenes a-la Hue scenes?
There’s a few projects out there like this: https://openrgb.org/ and https://diyhue.org/ there’s probably a few others too.

Using non Phillips Zigbee bulbs in HomeKit via Hue Bridge?
Ther also exists a Hue Bridge emulator called DIYhue. I didn‘t try it yet but it seems promising. This Software can run on a Pi and emulates a Hue Bridge. Therefore your official Hue app can discover it. On the other end the Software connect with the real Bridge but also with third party devices. For example over the ConBee II ZigBee USB Stick.
-
Is it worth upgrading a v2 hub?
Get a Pi and a Zigbee gateway stick and install diyHue instead. Don't let Philips pull the rug on you, like they did with the v1.

On/off light switch options in the UK
My solution when family and work will let me is to see if an alternate zigbee controller can be used with diyhue.org and Zigbee2MQTT.io and see if I can use some of the Chinese switches but still use the app that the family are used to.

New apartment being built, is wired still a thing in 2021 or i will be fine with ZigBee/Zwave?
Ahh ok. There's about a 50 device limit per hub on Hue. When you hit that, you could either move everything over to the HA server, or you can run multiple hubs, and then use diyHue to emulate a hub, and create a new virtual hub with both hubs merged. We have everything connected to the HA server through Zigbee2MQTT, but we still run diyHue as it works with HA as well. We use it because people like the app, and personally I like the app as well as it has some features that aren't easy or reasonable to add in Lovelace. We're also staying on version 3.8 of the app, before the new shitty redesign (I have a 3.8 apk I've modded to not update if you would like it).

A Custom Zigbee Doorbell
You might want to take a look at https://esphome.io/ for an easy integration of an ESP32/8266 into home Assistant.

Thoughts, learnings and regrets after three years on Home Assistant
You can do this with a $30 Sonoff S31 running ESPHome [0]. Since the Sonoff wall switch can run a ping sensor against your server you could create a watchdog automation right on the S31 to shut off the mains power to the S31 switch and turn back on after X seconds.
There are other ways you could have the S31 do operational checks but ultimately ESPHome is probably an interesting consideration and supported by tons of off the shelf hardware.

Fixing a broken smart cat feeder with ESP32
They're pretty great and compatible with most things. ESPHome [1] is a great resource for getting ESP32's working nicely with HA and you can find lots of projects using it to learn from.
You'll likely need to do soldering if you want to connect sensors, batteries and the like.
Personally I really like what SEEED Studio [2] does with their ESP32 boards and they have nice docs.

How to connect a SwiftUI app to NodeMCU ESP32
Maybe you could set up ESPHome on the ESP32. It might make connecting those components easier, plus a decent web server built in. Then your app can be set up to access data provided by the ESPHome web server.

Adafruit Feather ESP32-S2 with BME280 will not work!
# # Setting pins for sda and scl will be required until https://github.com/esphome/esphome/pull/2970 is released

Hey all! ESP32 beginner here, looking for a little advice
Probably an unpopular opinion, but for the simple stuff you may just want to use something like EspHome where you just need to create a yaml file. Once you’re comfortable with that maybe get into something a bit more advanced, but esphome make it a breeze. It integrates with home assistant if you already have that in place as well.

Ask HN: What are some unpopular technologies you wish people knew more about?
Lithium Titanate batteries. Nothing else is lightweight, safe, currently available, and lasts 20000 cycles.
ESPHome. It's a framework for declaratively building firmware for microcontrollers, based on rules like "This pin is an input with debouncing, when it changes, toggle this".
Contributing to them has probably been the most fun I've had programming in years.
We just need power management, and a C++ implementation of the Native API client. It's so close to being able to replace most of what I'd normally code by hand in Arduino.

RealThunder's fork of FreeCAD: https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD
They fix so many issues. Linear patterns can duplicate other linear patterns!
Vorta: It's the best backup technology I've seen. Just an easy guided GUI for Borg, which gives you deduplication. I just wish they let you deduplicate across multiple repositories somehow.
