Hello everybody,
I am messing around with zigbee lights since years when they first came up. Used them with their proprietary controllers (TRADFRI, HUE, etc.) and later changed to HA (via ZHA) trying conbee and now SONOFF CC2652P including routers on every floor again using them all (OSRAM, HUE, TRADFRI, INNR, and many more).
Event though this sure is a challenge with 40-60 lights in a four-floored house including the difficulties coming up with separate WiFi setup, different other proprietary radio controlled systems (Rademacher Window Covers, DECT-Telephone, etc.), I always thought this should be working.
But now, as my neighbors now started using more and more WiFis (about half a dozen in range) some even have set up their own zigbee home automation systems, I now end up repeatedly in unbearable connection loss events to more and more devices.
To make a reeeeeally long story short: I don’t think the parallel use of dozens of 2.4 GHz radio systems will have a future. So my idea is (was always): why the hell not use ONE system for all. And as I have a nearly perfectly set up WiFi System established by very well working UNIFI APs (one on each floor): why not WiFi-Lights?? As I NEVER hat WiFi issues in the house (with about 40 WiFi devices) I hope to finally solve the endless zigbee connection problems this way…
Now my question would be: what would be you recommendations on WiFi connected lights comprising E14, E27, GU10 and LightStrips?
And pleeeease: don´t tell about you well working zigbee setup - this does not help
As I described in the beginning: since 2016 I really tried a lot to get a working zigbee system…
THANK YOU ALL-
any help would be appreciated!
