Similarly, I've had Zigbee-based smart bulbs running on an open protocol in my home network for almost a year now. I paired them with a voice assistant, and now the lights automatically adjust brightness and color based on the time of day and my schedule. What really impresses me is that with Home Assistant, I can write custom scripts—like triggering a "night mode" only after I turn off all devices in the guest room. Plus, I’ve noticed real energy savings: thanks to light sensors, the bulbs only operate at minimal levels when natural light is sufficient. So yeah, open protocols really do simplify integration and open up space for DIY solutions.
