Hi,
I currently have an Ikea tradfri hub for which I have an integration in Home Assistant. It’s working fine mostly, but the two Hue lights I have connected do not communicate their state with the Hub reliably.
So, I wanted to look into disregarding the Hub entirely, and use a Zigbee dongle and ZHA to control every Zigbee device.
Now, with my Ikea hub, if that is down, I can still control the lights with the zigbee switches, as those are coupled with their respective lights. My question is: can this still be done with Home Assistant? In case of something like a hardware failure, I’d like to still be able to use my lights with the zigbee switches.
If there is not, is there something like a setting how the lights behave when the power to a bulb is turned on and off, so I can use the ‘analog’ light switches?
Many thanks for reading my question, I hope somebody can clear this up for me
