Yep that’s exactly what I did. The bulbs flashed and appeared to be reset. Like I said the official Hue app can’t even detect them without the serial method.

I am going to figure out Zigbee2Mqtt and see if that works, but it feels weird to install a new addon and migrate everything over when Home Assistant has that functionality baked in. Also like I said even the official Hue App and Bridge can’t detect the bulbs, I need to enter the serial. I was hoping ZHA or MQTT had an “enter serial” method.

Thanks I’ll give it a shot. I was trying to avoid more add-ons and the rest of my network is already configured with ZHA. But like I said even the official Hue Bridge/app can’t discover these bulbs without the serial number method.

ZHA

This is what I did and ZHA couldn’t find it.

Thanks, but I don’t think that’s it. I rebooted and also tried adding a new container to NGINX with a DuckDNS url and it won’t load on the local network.

Well like I said DuckDNS is working

Hm, pinging works and shows my (external) IP. But no device I’ve tested can load the duckdns URL.

EDIT: Two of the URLS show the local IP replying when pinged. Not configured any differently so I’m not sure what’s going on there. This was a PiHole thing apparently

Yes and DuckDNS is working flawlessly everywhere except that the network the server is also connected to.

Arris G36 but I don’t believe that’s the issue as it was working for years before now and on a different router too.

Thanks for the response but restarting the modem/router didn’t change anything, nor did creating a new container/NGINX config.

My exact experience too. Fedora “just works”. I especially like the immutable varieties for even more “just works (and continues to just works)-iness”

Ohh nice thanks!

Windows 11 no longer “just working” is what made me finally take Linux seriously as an option and I am so glad I did.

I genuinely think it is ready for prime time. As I said elsewhere the concept of immutable distros is a game changer for those of us who like to customize but hate the command line

Immutable distros help tremendously with the “It just works (and doesn’t stop just worksing)” aspect. Fedora Kinote is what finally allowed me to transition from Windows. Literally zero issues for over eight months now and I am not a super techie person. I hate the command line and need GUIs.

Honestly I think an immutable KDE distro is going to be the windows killer for pretty much anyone looking to switch. It’s literally better than Windows in every way.

link?

I wanted to but everyone on Lemmy told me I was an idiot for wanting a feature Mac and Windows have had for a decade (decrypt on login) .

But seriously it’s just not there on Linux yet. Either you encrypt and have two passwords, or give up convenience features like biometrics. Anything sensitive lives somewhere else.

Or… lemmy lol

I used to hate when people would suggest a “better” distro for a newbie but now that I’ve tried Fedora I understand and agree that it is the best. Specifically kinote but also silverblue.

EDIT: I feel I should clarify that IMO OPs pick of Debian is also really good

Thanks for this, so any 802.11r router would work?

oof on the expensive side but might have to do it. Were you able to install open wrt on it?
