Cheapest item I could find is 9c to get over the $80 limit: https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/universal-livingstone-cylindric…
But that doesn't count towards the $80 free shipping requirement does it? It's only on 'selected Philips Hue products'.
Correct
Hmm don’t need anymore bulbs at the moment but always good to have some spares. Great deal. Already run 2 bridges so I’ll sell this bridge.
what's the use case for 2 bridges?
How do you manage 2 bridges? Do you have any switches that can operate across both (eg turn on/off all lights)?
When you reach about 50 hue bulbs/etc the bridge runs out of memory so need to add a second bridge to add more devices. Can’t control devices on the 2nd bridge with google assistant but I put the lights that are really only controlled by motion sensors on the 2nd bridge. Otherwise home kit works well or can use the hue app but is a pain to switch bridges in the hue app.
I think there may be a workaround for google assistant.
A long winded method that I can think of is to (1) connect both bridges to Home Assistant, (2) connect Home Assistant to Google Assistant then (3) control Hue by Google Assistant via Home Assistant..
Yeah I'm there - so need a 2nd bridge. Good idea re the motion only 2nd for the second bridge. I don't really use google assistant to manage the lights except (only sometimes) - prefer to use the physical controllers - so may need to use hassio for specific all house commands.
Didnt they update the hue recently for two bridges? I have a second one here I have never plugged in as no use case (I mix hue, lifx and random rgb globes)
good luck with selling the bridge. I can't think how anyone would want to buy it.
….
related in a sort of way: Does anyone reading this know how to use the zigbee radio in them for something other than Hue? (eg zigbee2mqtt or similar)
I sold the bridge for $70 posted a while back, "new open box". Some people don't live near a shop, and new price is up to $99.
wow, i'm surprised.
but, ok
PM pls
Free shiping with kogan first
With a shit ton of ineligible suburbs. Wasted my time troubleshooting the terrible website to find out no free shipping. Which is a shame and it kills this deal for me.
Philips Hue white ambiance starter kit $54 in officeworks. Just bought one at Officeworks Chadstone.
Edit: Here is the receipt.Purchase declined twice though 😭😭😭
Only once, I used Coles Prepaid Mastercard, it was not enough credits.
Are they white ambiance or just white? I looked up the description and part number "pme27ktbt" in your receipt it showed up as just white.
Sorry, they are warm white colour that is dimmable with bluetooth-enabled. The barcode is 8718699630317. Here is the link.
Anyone knows if this is the Gen 2 bridge? Don’t want to find out it’s the old bridge that Philips Hue have discontinued support for
Would be gen 2 gen 1 hasn’t been around for a while
Thanks, given the $40 price tag for the whole kit, just thought I’d check!
Yes according to a review on the page from Ben J (16 Apr 2022) he got the Gen 2 bridge,
Grabbed this and 3 bayonet bulbs for $90 delivered! Thanks
Do these work with Apple home
