Jackson soon discovered that Amazon suspended his account because a Black delivery driver who’d come to his house the previous day had reported hearing racist remarks from his video doorbell. In a brief email sent to Jackson at 3 a.m., the company explained how it unilaterally placed all of his linked devices and services on hold as it commenced an internal investigation.
The accusations baffled Jackson. He and his family are Black. When he reviewed the doorbell’s footage, he saw that nobody was home at the time of the delivery. At a loss for what could have prompted the accusation of racism, he suspected the driver had misinterpreted the doorbell’s automated response: “Excuse me, can I help you?”
Best thing about Hue though is they are zigbee and you can pair them to any zigbee controller and control them with Home Assistant. That’s what I did I ditched the hue hub and use home assistant. Best of both worlds. I get the good CRI of the hue lights without the cloud crap. On the other hand feel bad for those that use any WiFi lights that can’t be used with anything other than the proprietary app.
What zigbee receiver are you using now? I have both zwave and zigbee with hue but I’d love to ditch the Hue shit.
I am using a husbzb -1 but only the zigbee side, for Zwave I am using a TubeZB device. I use to use it for both but I wanted Zwave 700 radio. There are plenty better zigbee dongles now including ones with poe Ethernet
