Rachel nailed it, as usual. I was an early adapter and have a houseful of Hue stuff, but over the last year or so I've switched to buying Nanoleaf bulbs. Hue is a little nicer, but not enough to make their terrible app worth the hassle.

I've seen a few recommendations now for the Ikea Dirigera hub, so fine. I've ordered one. Assuming it works as expected, I'll migrate everything next week. So long, Philips. I liked your stuff, but why'd you have to get greedy? Was being twice the price of your competition not enough?

I've completely replaced all my Hue lights with Lutron Casetas. They work so much better than individual light bulbs talking to the bridge. I use Apple Home which is mostly meh, but feels more robust than Hue or Google Home.

I have nearly all of our light switches on Casetas (except for things like bathroom and closets, where we're not sitting/lying down or care about dim levels).

However... in some rooms (office and board game room), I do like having the option for cool white during the day, and warm white at night. So I like having Hues there.

So, while Casetas are good for automating a single color, you still need bulb-level automation for anything involving multiple colors.
