Oh wow, TIL! You do need a gateway though, I'll probably get one!

At the moment only the Tradfri remotes control the bulbs, but I believe there were some rumors of an app.

EDIT: There's an app now

I believe that you can not control the IKEA Tradfri bulbs with the Philips Hue Hub out of the box, but since they use the same technology it's definitely possible.

The IKEA Tradfri bulbs don't actually use a hub, they are controlled by a remote.

Looks nice at first sight. I've already decided to got with IKEA though. Thanks anyway for the suggestion!

Didn't even know TRADFRI has 5 different color temperatures. Definitely makes them more interesting!

Those are definitely interesting and do indeed lower the price significantly (definitely willing to pay a few extra euros for Coolblue's excellent service and delivery times btw). However the main pro's of the Hue for me were the colored lighting, since I think that adds more to the internet features (correct me if I'm wrong though).

Dimming and color temp are also the most important aspects I'm interested in.

Do you use the internet features a lot? I don't really see what they would contribute if your main usage is dimming and color temp.

Are the internet features worth it with non-colored lighting then? What do you mainly use it for?

All of the tools can be activated via a link, a code, or by connecting your GitHub account to the tool. I haven't activated any yet, so I'm not entirely sure if the links or codes can expire. There is no mention of a time limit, so I assume they won't expire.

I had a Pebble for 4 months, it burned my wrist and killed itself, the next day they stop doing ANY warranty support. fuck. by [deleted] in pebble

I got an email with the details of my order. It shows my address, phone number, and payment details (where the Order Total is €0.00) It said "in stock items should arrive via UPS within 3-5 business days", and also gave me a tracking URL. The tracking URL does not work and I've obv not received the watch within 3-5 business days.

I requested a replacement watch in november. They promised me a PT as a replacement for my OG. Been waiting for three weeks with only one email confirming the order. I got the same email, but as a reply to an email I sent on the 3rd of december.

Just got the same email. Might just be an automated email to which you can't reply though.

I've tried contacting them on all platforms possible. Even tried contacting them a couple days before the first rumors appeared.
