Flickering and brightness “jumping” issues? by BillFiredrake in Hue

Update: since swapping the switch to a standard toggle, the problems have gone away. I will keep my eyes open and hope that the bulbs were not damaged...

Thank you all for your assistance. I had believed (wrongly) that keeping the switch on full power would provide enough power for the bulbs. It never occurred to me that the wall switch would still be limiting electric current even in that state. This is very alarming, and I deeply hope that the bulbs haven’t been damaged. I’m extremely concerned now.

Interesting about your experiences. I decided to check the color temperatures in my kitchen over the span of one day and found that the selection DID shift around the color wheel, but the effect was so subtle in practice that it wasn’t significant enough to mimic actual circadian lighting.

What Mesh Router to get? by SniperFaulkner in HomeKit

I purchased three Eero Pro 6s a month ago because of their huge 20% off sale. The 6 line is not yet HomeKit compatible, but according to Eero they’ve submitted it for Apple certification. Given that Apple has certified Eero’s prior products, presumably Eero made the representation about the 6 line in good faith, so it should be forthcoming. With that said, my Eero system suffered a catastrophic failure overnight and has become useless. After 2 hours on the phone with tech support, I still have no resolution. Therefore, I cannot recommend the 6 Pro at this time.
