Migrated my ZigBee2MQTT to BSD, of course running inside a Jail (and with IPv6!) 🙂

All running perfectly fine and as stable as you'd expect from FreeBSD

Plus the rc.d script is so minimalistic and simple, that I don't get it, why anyone would prefer intransparent systemd to that!

Another part of my home-infrastructure migrated over!

For shutters/lights I am using #shelly relays (concealed installation in the walls). I am running #esphome on them but with the stock firmware they can also be used fully locally over WLAN.

For windows/doors I am using cheap #zigbee sensors that you can stick to the frame. A good Zigbee USB stick is around 30 EUR. I have also added several #zigbee relays in strategic places to make the network more robust. Also all fully local using #zigbee2mqtt integration

Seems to have been going on for a couple of years, now. I bought my initial batch of Tradfri GU10s to go with my existing Hue kit about 6 years ago, and they’ve only just started failing (as have the second hand Hue lamps I bought before that).

I read a forum post that suggested the overnight automatic firmware update from the Hue hub may be the problem, but disabling this hasn’t improved matters at all.

I’m desperate for a solution, as this has effectively broken my smart lighting setup. I can’t afford to replace all the Tradfri bulbs with Hue, but am considering ditching the Hue hub and the last few Hue bulbs I have (unless they can be connected to a Tradfri hub?)
