Luckily I already have a Plex/Jellyfin server, so having a device running 24/7 isn’t an issue. But my experience is primarily on the HTPC side of things, so I’d appreciate any tips! I’m probably going to run it headless for now, but may eventually install a dashboard once the dust has settled on getting this running.

    Good move. I’ve driven my Sengled E11-N1EA bulbs for years now over ZigBee with an old HubZ HUSBZB-1. Works fine, no regrets. Didn’t even know those bulbs were cloud attached.

      Those are the exact bulbs I have! I thought ahead and at least bought Zigbee bulbs, in anticipation of Sengled eventually pulling their support. And now here we are, with Sengled’s servers dead/killed and absolutely no communication from the company. Apparently this latest outage had Amazon pulling their support, so there are probably a lot of Alexa people about to transition to other brands.

      Used this same exact setup for years and only in the last few months moved to a SLZB-06 POE version paired with Z2M and love it.
