> So these 2 reactions made me wonder. What do i actually want rgbw lights for. Do i want that for a full disco party? I probably wont use it for that. Its just for a techy gimmick accent light.

When you refer to the dimmer, is this the Hue dimmer switch?

I’m planning an experiment to utilise the Fibaro dimmer 2’s that are behind my 3-way momentary switches to see if they’ll work with Hue bulbs in some way so that I can continue my WAF switches on the walls but also have Hue bulbs controlled via Alexa and ‘an app’ for RGB etc.

I’m hoping that I’ll be able to keep at least on/off at the wall switch and possibly dimming. But also then have the superb dimming ability of the Hue bulbs, Alexa, and RGB via Homey

Knowing that Hue bulbs always need power, I was wondering if anybody had experience of this? I’m presuming the ‘dimmer’ above is a Hue one so might not be the right thread for this
