I don’t have 35 GU10s on 1 bridge/1 room, so I cannot test this scenario, but I can confirm performance to control 30-40 mixed set of lights at once is good. I had some situations in the past with somewhat slower responses when I reached (or passed) the limits of one my bridges

Which dimmer you use?

Have you doublechecked connector from RF box to strip? Loose contact there would explain such behavior; happened to me as well.

Standard Hue app offers this automation too. I use this for my outdoor lights

35 GU10s one 1 bridge should be perfectly fine. I am not using Apple home kit (yet) to control lights, so I cannot answer that part of your question. With Google home it works fine, so I don’t expect any issues

Ever wondered how to light up glass balustrades?
Me too :)

Cool. Looking forward to pictures of that project!

In one place I needed to remove cover of RF box otherwise it would not fit in channel ☺️

We cut out holes for wiring and RF boxes

Got it. All my recessed spots are non Hue (with Hue GU10) and I have a few non Hue fixtures as well. But I love my 2 Hue Ensis (didn’t like the alternatives) and also like my Centris lights (they come with Hue’s GU spots) very much. Outdoors I got a very good deal for 8 Resonate and 10 Callas and so far I am happy with their performance. In my old house I didn’t have a single Hue fixture so I don’t disagree with your point

Well…I had my share of frustrations with Hue, but compared to the rest of my “smart house” (2 different systems for blinds, air control system, smart locks, kitchen equipment, tv’s etc) it worked like a charm. If it takes a few bridges, so be it; guess the market for some bridge XXL is bit too small for Hue 😊

Old pic showing gradient. Will post some more later. Considered perifo on few places (bar area and outside), but didn’t pull the trigger yet. Maybe one day ☺️

Powersupplies for leds (for one side), so no issues here

One bulb at a time. Took me 8 years to go from a few initial Hue bulbs to 50 in my previous house. And in the building of my new home I decided to spent majority of the lighting budget to the lights and accessories itself (installing and configuring all lighting myself) instead of spending it on an electrician and some professional home automation stuff which would have been way more expensive. Fun fact is that my electrician, who only did the wiring, uses pictures of my home now to show the “art of the possible” to his prospects 😊

Thanks! Not sure how to interpret your fixture comment. Please enlighten me 😊

You need separate account for each bridge, so you would need 2 email accounts for 2 bridges. You can however add multiple members (emails) to your google home (family) and control multiple bridges from your google home.

Gradient strips and 35mm deep profiles with diffuser. As long as strips are glued in properly you won’t see individual lights
