    Philips Hue was one of the first to get smart lights accepted by the mainstream. Their Zigbee-based hub is rock solid, never crashes, great API and worked with other Zigbee light bulbs too. They are a bit expensive but the platform was worth every penny, till now.

    Yesterday a thread on /r/homeautomation published that Philips Hue now blocks all but their own bulbs and those of “friends of Hue”. I have been able to confirm this in the Philips Hue FAQ (Update Dec 14: they have removed the entries - mirror here):

    -

    This means that after you update your Hue bridge to the latest version:

    - -
      -
    • As of now, you can still use your existing paired 3rd party light bulbs
      • -
    • You cannot pair new 3rd party light bulbs
      • -
    • You’re out of luck if for some reason you have to pair existing 3rd party light bulbs again
      • -
    • Resetting your hub will force pairing of all your bulbs again
      • -
    - -

    If you own a Philips Hue hub and are using 3rd party light bulbs, make sure you do not upgrade your hub if you want to be able to pair new 3rd party lightbulbs. But do realize that you are sitting on a ticking time bomb.

    - -

    I have read, but have been unable to confirm it, that resetting your hub will force a software upgrade. So beware of that too.

    - -

    I will no longer suggest people to buy into the Philips Hue ecosystem.

    To integrate iCloud in Home Assistant, add the following section to your configuration.yaml file:

    # Example configuration.yaml entry

    • password (Required): The password for your given username.

    Home Assistant will create a configuration folder when it is run for the first time. The location of the folder depends on operating system: on OS X/Linux it’s ~/.homeassistant and on Windows it’s %APPDATA%/.homeassistant. If you want to use a different folder for configuration, run hass --config path/to/config.

    Inside your configuration folder is the file configuration.yaml. This is the main file that contains which components will be loaded and what their configuration is. An example configuration file is located here.

    When launched for the first time, Home Assistant will write a default configuration enabling the web interface and device discovery. It can take up to a minute for your devices to be discovered and show up in the interface.
