On: Philips Hue will soon force users to create an account

I use Home Assistant. It's open source and there is a huge community around it.

You still need the Hue hub for that though right?

You will need a Zigbee Hub for sure, but it doesn't need to be Philips Hue hub. Folks have used ConBee II or Sonoff Zigbee USB dongle to replace Hue hub.

I have used Sonoff Zigbeen to replace Ikea hub, bot haven't got around to replacing Hue hub just yet. It's on my list :-)

Thanks, I run HomeBridge on a Pi so I might try this if Hue go through with their plan.

Anecdotally, I live in Ireland and a number of locals have mobilised to gather food and medicine to send it to Ukraine. Then I came across this article and now think this is happening across the country: https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2022/0308/1285137-ireland-ai...

I wouldn’t be surprise if many other communities in Europe are doing the same. The problem might be getting the aid to the right place.

There is a known issue that the current beta version works with only 100% zoom level. Please check your browser and OS display zoom level and make it 100% to try it out before the fixed version is uploaded.

Speaking of zoom, it'd sure be nice if the keikai web site didn't kill zoom on the ipad. Pretty hard to see the screen shots, etc.
