I got myself a Philips Zigbee IP Bridge (the round one, v1?), connected, and from the router’s admin it’s succesfully got an IP via DHCP. Browsing to the said IP brings me to this…
FWIW, I’m finding a way to integrate an Zigbee IR remote to control home appliances… the Philips bridge was a gift so, in case it’s not workable, I can always get a proper USB Zipbee dongle?
Just wondering, the Philips bridge will only connect to lights but not other devices, right? If so I’m probably out of luck and need to find a proper bridge…
My v2 connects to all the Phillips Hue devices, but I no linger use it in favour of a Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 Dongle-P stick and Zigbee2MQTT/Mosquitto. The advantage is that I can connect many more devices with it over a single Zigbee network. …it’s cheaper than getting a v2 as well.
