Link DeCONZ bridge? #102

Open FezVrasta opened 5 years ago

Hi, I was wondering if there's any way to link a DeCONZ bridge rather than a Hue bridge?

It doesn't show up in the list of available bridges, if I add it manually it links properly but then nothing happens, probably because it does't support the Hue Entertainment API?

deCONZ + REST responds to discovery requests differently than Hue does, which alone breaks compatibility, I'd need to work around it. It also doesn't appear to support Hue's Entertainment thing, which isn't surprising as it's a Philips-specific Zigbee extension. One could look at supporting it, but the update rate is going to be slow. Currently Huestacean doesn't do non-Entertainment light updates, so it's not super simple.
