I hope someone can help me with the following situation. I have a few Ikea lighbulbs that I can control with Homey, and working to satisfaction. However, I also believe that the normal lightswitch should be working as everyone in the house is used to, and I am not planning to replace my switches ar…

but only if you use the ikea hub. if you connect directly to Homey without ikea hub doesn’t work. when the power go off and on (eg blackout) the homey see the light ikea off, but the light are on. I use the app: IKEA Trådfri by Athom B.V. v1.4.2 - 13.09.19

Let me dig this topic out - I’m also interested in tracking the state of zigbee bulbs (tradfri, hue, osram) which can be disconnected from electricity. I have two use cases: Possibility to check if I have turned the lights off when I left home Creating a flow with “bulb has been turned on” event a…

In Domoticz i had implemented an enhanced Dzvents script that would get a JSON from the HUE bridge every minute. in this JSON the state of each lamp is described, included if they were available (reachable). The results would be stored in a table and if a lamp was not “seen” every minutes for 5 min…

[Screenshot_20210315-230801_Homey] Did you use the correct URL? Did you use the right lamp? Are you able to access the clip API debugger? And thanks for the compliment :slight_smile:

In your example i see the URL starts with HTTP instead of HTTPS. Changed that to make it work. What concerns me, is that the solution is less secure now; my API key is visible with a packetsniffer.

You don’t trust your own network?

I don’t trust any network. Offtopic in this thread, but how can I trust devices in my network running on closed source software? Some of them have an old OS which isn’t patched anymore. How can I trust my neighborhood; they can capture the wireless traffic between my Homey and Hue? What’s against m…

[image] Heronimus: What’s against more security, no mather if it’s local or public data traffic. There’s nothing against more security, but local devices typically can’t support HTTPS when you have to access them through their IP-address. If you want to access your Homey locally over HTTPS, …
