homebridge-hue VS homebridge-zp

Not if you edit the config json in Homebridge. It’s outlined in the Install section, bullet #4. https://github.com/ebaauw/homebridge-hue

8.1.2023, 00:33:41 Hue Bridge Hue [ WARNING ] warning: planned changes, see https://github.com/ebaauw/homebridge-hue/issues/1070

Thanks for the information! I saw the announcement that Hue and deCONZ plugins will be decoupled (for anyone wondering here is the official statement - https://github.com/ebaauw/homebridge-hue/issues/1070 ) but was wondering if the new deCONZ plugin is stable enough for day to day usage? Further more the biggest pain with deCONZ itself according to most online sources is pairing. Have you noticed an improvement with that?

In situations like this, I recommend the homebridge-hue plugin. this plugin can pull all zigbee devices bound to the bridge into homekit. and, as a note, it is meant to be done in place of the stock homekit integration.

You can buy a ConBee II and connect it to homebridge using the homebridge hue plugin. Great thing about this setup is you can then connect any Zigbee device without buying a hub for every product line you want to add to your home. I have Aqara sensors, Hue strips and IKEA shades all connected to the ConBee and they work great in HomeKit.

I use homebridge-ZP all the time every day. Works really well with my Sonos system. https://github.com/ebaauw/homebridge-zp

I'm using this homebridge plugin which works perfectly since years: https://github.com/ebaauw/homebridge-zp

For Sonos also check out this popular one: https://github.com/ebaauw/homebridge-zp

If the Arc is playing something (https://github.com/ebaauw/homebridge-zp) the plug will turn on

Hey man glad to welcome you to the club, since Sonos only does do airplay 2 ( make sure to check the stuff the builder is installing works with airplay 2 and not 1) and not HomeKit integration, you would still need the Sonos app to control it. The workaround would be that as long as it’s airplay 2 compatible, you can use Sistine to play music to it and also other devices at the same time. If you want control via the Home app, you can always install Homebridge Homebridge on a Mac or raspberry Pi and then use the Sonos plugin such as this one calledSonos ZP. That should give you full control over the speakers via the home app as well. Only thing would be to make sure the Hombridge server is always running to ensure control from the home app remain active. Pm me if he happy to help!
