Hi all,
I am thinking to start with lighting "automation" in my flat, at the moment I have sunshades controls, different scenarios (night/day, home/away and so on).
Let's say that to get automatic lights I need for example a Fibaro/Qubino switch, as it makes no sense to replace all the lamps I have buying LED lamps like Hue or Aeon bulbs.
I am a little bit confused how what to buy, specially regarding LED and LED stripes.
Options are Fibaro RGBW Controller + LED Stripes or Philips Hue
Philips Hue:
+ buy one controller, then I can buy as much as I want (up to 50, ok) stripes/bulbs
+ In the future, if I have a lamp with a single bulb, I can replace them directly with a Hue bulb and immediately control it with Indigo via Hue plugin
- perhaps, it costs more (Hue LED stripe is more expensive than "standard LED stripe, but I have to buy Fibaro RGBW to control it)
- no real white on stripe, only RGB
Fibaro RGBW
+ costs less
- can control only stripes
- need to buy one controller for every stripe
Am I wrong?
Do I miss something?
Thanks
Marco
