I am trying to get rid of my Philips Bridge but I'd like to keep my Hue Sync Box. I tried the Emulated Hue add-ons but it's not really maintained anymore so I went with diyHue instead.
My Home Assistant is setup with a Tube's ZB dongle to connect to every Zigbee lights and ZHA to control them. diyHue connects to Home Assistant via its REST API.
I added a single bulb to diyHue just to try. I then created the Entertainment Area and I can connect the Hue Sync Box to diyHue but when I start syncing, it picks up the first color and then nothing more happens.
Here are the logs (192.168.xxx.yyy is the IP of the Sync Box):
This issue looks a lot like https://github.com/diyhue/hassio-addon/issues/11 where it uses HTTP instead of the UDP entertainment protocol, but it's supposed to be fixed in 2.0.8? (I'm running 2.0.10) Although "{"action":"start"}GET /auth/v1 HTTP/1.1" 405 might be the problem?
Maybe there's a more direct way to do this with less overhead using Zigbee2MQTT instead of ZHA? Because right now, it goes:
Hue Sync Box -> diyHue -> Hass REST API -> ZHA -> dongle -> bulb
From what I understand, using Z2M would bypass the REST API and ZHA to control the bulbs through the dongle directly. Would that be better?
