    Note the dimmer switch has a new version

    • Graffin on 14/09/2021 - 16:25

      It's not really clear what the new switch has over the old one. The only thing I noticed is there's no off button at the bottom (replaced with a HUE logo), i'm guessing the top button now acts as an ON/OFF button and maybe you can assign a scene/function to the HUE button?

    • Soothsayer on 14/09/2021 - 17:45

      Never seen the new dimmer switch actually for sale in Australia, despite launching ages ago.

      Guessing it has something to do with the semiconductor shortage but if you need a dimmer now I wouldn't wait.

      That's weird pricing. Not only is two single units cheaper, but you get a three-plug power pack in each single unit too, compared to a single power pack in the double unit. You don't actually need two power packs, unless you were going to have the play bars widely separated, but always nice to have a spare kicking around.

      • nitens on 14/09/2021 - 16:19

        But you also need to buy the bridge which I think is included in the two pack. Though it's not obvious on their listing.

  • phoenixpan on 14/09/2021 - 14:55

      They are all 2.0 bridges.

      The 1.0 is a round shape, avoid on the rare chance you see one. The 2.0 bridge has the square rounded-corner shape.

  • kiarod on 14/09/2021 - 14:58

        No difference, you can use up to 3 single bars with 1 adapter.
        Buying 2 * 1 Pack means you have 2 adapters.

    Hue vs cheap wifi bulbs? worth moving?

    • y2k on 14/09/2021 - 16:16
      +1

      I had LifX bulbs and switched to Hue because:
      a) my wifi at the time was very patchy, which meant LifX downlights often didn't respond (and often different ones in the same room)
      b) Hue has cheap physical switches ie the dimmer. I don't want to rely entirely on motion sensors or shouting at my smart speakers, and LifX didn't work with Flic nearly as reliably as I wanted. The certainty makes a big difference esp if you live with less tech inclined folks
      c) reliability. Yes, Hue is overpriced usually. Yes, the downlights don't get as bright as others. But it works every time and while I accept a few hiccups with a smart home, it's nice to have one component that always works. eg I can buy an LED strip for my bathroom and know it will work every time with the existing Hue motion sensor and downlights.
      d) I didn't need RGB colour changes for my downlight. Tried it with LifX at Christmas and it was so buggy that it wasn't worth it.

      And it's clear that they discount quite a bit eg the white downlights often can be had on Amazon for about $50 each.

      • truetypezk on 14/09/2021 - 19:52
        +1

        Yeah LIFX sucks! I have switched all my LIFX to hue thanks to Bunning's massive markdowns over the past few months.

    • Soothsayer on 14/09/2021 - 17:49

      At the price of the 3 pack + dimmer + hub, I would say definitely.

      Local control is the best thing about Hue, reliability and instant response - no need to send a signal to a server in China, a click on the dimmer turns off a bulb in ms not in seconds like my Yeelight and Sonoff gear. The bulbs also act as signal repeaters to each other so you don't have to worry about signal strength like Wifi based solutions.

      Different story if you plan to use a home automation hub (Home Assistant, Smart Things, Hubitat) as that mitigates a lot of advantages of Hue but as a standalone it's the best "set and forget" system out there IMO.

  • trawg on 14/09/2021 - 15:26

    This looked like a great deal so I tried to order three things: 2x light bars, motion sensor and dimmer switch.

    It wants to split the motion sensor & dimmer switch into two separate shipments (~$30 total). The light bars "are not in stock for delivery in your area" so I have to select Click & Collect, but there are none available within 100km of my local store.

    So, YMMV.

  • khang on 14/09/2021 - 15:31

    Looks like stock is mostly in Cairns.. you snooze you lose I guess! :(

    Edit: looks like the light bar single pack paid individually at $64.93 is the best value here. Not the historically lowest price but a pretty dam good price

    • khang on 14/09/2021 - 16:01

      For some reason now when I go to cart for a single pack there is an option of $9.95 delivery with Couriers Please to metro VIC making it a single unit price of $59.93. Thats the cheapest per unit I have ever seen it and on Ozbargain!!! Ended up getting two single packs for a total of $119.86, what a ripper deal!

    Does this need the $500 hdmi sync box to set tv scene lighting?

    • l4nn13 on 14/09/2021 - 16:19

      officially, yes.

      if you have a pc connected to the tv as an intended htpc, you can use the pc hue sync app for free.

      • Fuzor on 14/09/2021 - 17:34

        Yeah exactly. For $500, you could pretty much buy a new PC to power the program.

      • Astronaut Joe on 14/09/2021 - 17:51

        BTF Lighting does their own version* of an HDMI sync box, but the complete kit, including lightstrips, runs for about $150 depending on how long the strips are. It has the same limitations as the Hue box:

        • doesn't support HDR
        • needs HDMI input therefore can't reading anything coming from the TV's internal apps or tuner

        but doesn't have the disadvantage of the Govee which doesn't always read colours correctly.

        And of course it won't integrate with the Hue ecosystem.

        I'm very tempted to give it a go. Something else to play with during lockdown…..

        If you exceed the device limit of the bridge - 63 bulbs and/or 62 devices (although the realistic limit is less than this) then you'll need a second bridge.

      There is a backplate that you can switch to the wall, and the switch itself is attached magnetically to the backplate so you can take it away and wander around with it. It is powered by coin batteries which I've never had to change yet.

    Does EB run their online sales from local stores?

    No stock at stores but online shows available and allows you to get right to the checkout payment section and after you enter payment details it rudely yanks the carpet from under you by saying no stock. If there is no stock locally really EB is it too hard to let the customer know once they enter their address?

  • wendellX on 17/09/2021 - 00:10

    Ok I just received a colour 3 pack today and this is clearly floor stock that's been sold and returned before. The tamper seal had been cut, retaped, and cut again (i.e. delivered unsealed), one of the bulbs was not locked into the vacuum packaging, and the bridge wasn't in the moulded cutout designed specifically for it. Can't say I'm happy to receive this, but they have no stock now so I can either keep these second hand goods, or give up the bargain…

    • dishlex on 17/09/2021 - 22:28

      Same thing here.

      Bulb model was LCT015, which appears to be an older generation. My most recent purchase from Bunnings had LCA001 bulbs.

      The bulbs also weren't able to be paired, as if they were already paired to another hue bridge. I was able to reset them though.

      They are missing the power off feature (e.g. You can choose what state they return to if you power them off and back on at the switch). Updating them may resolve this though.

      The bridge also has physical marks on it.

      • Mcrackn on 01/10/2021 - 11:35

        LCA001 are the new ones with Bluetooth.

        LCT015 are either 3rd gen (if gold writing on the bulb), or what is referred to as 3.1 gen (if silver writing on the bulb).

        Colours with 3 or 3.1 gen will be the same as the Bluetooth ones (gen 1 and 2 are different) and if they are 3.1 they may be slightly more efficient (9.5W vs 10W of actual power usage or something like that). I received 3.1 from EB.

  • tallkid123 on 17/09/2021 - 19:46

    Got 2 of my 3x light starter kits and my dimmer switch today.

    Setting up was easy and now I can control the lights in my wife's bedroom at will, haha.
