Does anyone use a #PhillipsHue Tap Dial #zigbee remote with #zigbee2mqtt 2.0.0?

(Exact model: 8719514440937)

I can't figure out why I no longer see activity even in debug logs.

I've tried repairing, filing an upstream issue etc, no luck.

If it works for anyone else I'd at least know it's a local issue.

I screwed in some light bulbs and made a video about it. Nothing is too boring to put on YouTube!

My new hue outdoor (SML004) reports wildly different lux values than my old (SML002).

Direct sunlight: old - 25000+, new: 7000+. That's a three fold difference, atleast.

Aside from actually having time off, this week has been wonderful because I've been able to do some things that I'd been meaning to do for a LONG time.

1) I've removed #Plex from our family server, and replaced it with #Jellyfin. The latter is free, and doesn't track your stuff or require you to sign in to a website, like the former does.

2) I'm working on removing all of our #PhillipsHue lightbulbs in the house and replacing them with #HomeAssistant friendly #Shelly dimmers/switchers. I've got to work on this one VERY slowly, as it's not going to be cheap, but yesterday, I finished the bedroom setup, with time to spare ;)

3) I'm now effectively running #JuicePassProxy https://github.com/snicker/juicepassproxy on my network to prevent both of our JuiceBoxes from calling home and running the terrible new version. The bad news? I wasn't quick enough to stop the new EnelX system from picking up the charging stations, and now I can't dynamically adjust charge rate.

So, here’s my plan for getting some control back over my data from big tech. More to come , but I want to jot my ideas down before I forget!

The first step is to block as much advertising as possible. I hate being tracked and correlated with people I know, seeing their ads. I already use #pfsense and #pfblockerng - so will filter that and use VPN across devices to route via home.

The next step is to lock down my devices to stop tracking bloody everything. Should be an easy fix - remove unwanted apps, stop things like access to GPS and sensors unless using the apps.

Once the basics have been sorted, next step will be looking at media hosting. #synology and #jellyfin are probs going to be key players

Finally point for today, will need to move away from various Google services in the home automation space. Smart speakers, nest cameras and heating are probs going to go. Will also look at replacing apps that NEED the cloud - looking at you #phillipshue

For those of you that have Phillips Hue gear:

That includes a potential alternative for continued use of the existing gear, without migrating to the Phillips cloud.

Between what Phillips is seemingly doing, and with reported breaches at Johnson Controls and elsewhere, having essential systems operating mostly- or entirely-locally seems wise.

Though local environmental, monitoring, and security gear can be breached, too.

I’d write that about hosting critical IT apps locally too, though a major breach at any large vendor (AWS, or Azure, or Apple, or GCP, or ilk) would still have knock-off IT effects ~everywhere.
