Hi all, I was looking to buy RGB lights, particularly something like the Philips Hue Light bar.

Aside from it being very expensive, as far as I can tell the software used to control it isn’t open source.

I know OpenRGB exists but I’d prefer a manufacturer that supports open source software, if that exists. Any other recommendations welcome! Thanks

    Most smart bulbs, including Phillips and Ikea, use the open Zigbee protocol. You can use open source software like Zigbee2mqtt and/or Home assistant to control them.
