Andreas, hue bulbs must be un-registered from the hue hub before they can join the zigbee controller.

Then the hue bulb automatically pair with the zigbee controller.

I'm working for a company that had probably the biggest impact on Bluetooth Mesh. We are developing smart lamps with focus on commercial spaces. Bluetooth Mesh is not really that popular yet as the software is not there yet for other uses. For lighting we do already have commercial installations with hundreds of nodes. We have multiple manufacturer contracts (with giants like Osram and Zumtobel to name the few) so the future is looking bright, pun intended. As for comparisons to Zigbee. I won't give you a very detailed answer right now but there are a few key pros that make Bluetooth Mesh probably the best candidate for the future. 1. Bluetooth radio in basically every appliance or gadget 2. No single point of failure 3. Good performance with hundreds of nodes 4. Whole stack is defined. From radio to application. That makes Bluetooth Mesh certified devices compatible with each other. Not always the case with other radio protocols that do not define the application stack. 5. Good security with network and application layer encryptions. It may be a few more years before you see Bluetooth Mesh usage at homes,

@@AndreasSpiess re:router: Whoever defined role of Zigbee "router" should explain that role. What exactly does it do? Why is the word "router" selected when that has a [different] well-established role in the internet? re:"Zigbee2MQTT": MQTT was invented around 1999 and is the basis for sensor networks and the publish-subscribe paradigm. (Bluetooth as a peer-peer product does not use it; there's no pub-sub). But home automation requires pub-sub. Where are these layers of "Zigbee2MQTT" explained so we can see they're not comparable? Are these layers of OSI? Doesn't Zigbee work without "Zigbee2MQTT"? (From my experience, when I connected Zigbee dongle to RPI, and it discovered a Philips bulb, I do not remember installing "Zigbee2MQTT". Was it done automatically?) Zigbee and other automation products (some are proprietary) utilize the MQTT protocol in the same way that email products like Gmail follow the SMTP protocol. So I still don't understand the purpose of "Zigbee2MQTT", as if "Zigbee" must be translated to "MQTT". When Matter products are rolled out, will there be a Matter2MQTT?

Any idea if the Zigbee radiator valve heads are end nodes or routers? I’m only questioning because although they are battery powered it is big batteries (2 AA), the battery life seems a bit short for an end node on 2AA and there was no mention anywhere where I bought them from of needing to buy routers and they would sell loads of valve heads with only 1 hub (12 I think). Incidentally I bought some eWeLink compatible power switches that were not Sonoff made and I don’t think they are routers as they don’t expand the mesh strength. Then I bought some Sonoff ones and they definitely extend the network. They were very cheap, but it was a false economy if they only act as end nodes.

@@AndreasSpiess Maybe truth in your head, but it's just as true as saying every Swiss citizen is a Heroin® junkie. The Summer of Love WAS NOT ABOUT FREE SEX, it was about caring for each other and advancing humanity. It was more than a decade before the rise of AIDS but sadly people thousands of kilometers away don't understand that and appear confused. I'm a Hippie from San Francisco and I've only led only long term committed relationships. I've also worked in the medical field in San Francisco, one of the two points of origin of AIDS, and I watched over 100 patients with AIDS die in the most agonizing ways. Your generalizing is based in degrading stereotypes and not worthy of merit.

@Andreas Spiess, please stick to your brilliant technical videos. They have always been helpful and very well done.

Another interesting topic, but the swiss accent is now gone especially for the 2.4Ghz mesh!! by the way, i have a wifi ap connected with lan cables per concrete floor. wifi mesh via wifi didn't work for me, its get "confusing" but we do like anarchy here. anyhow, such a scheme might create the need for wifi police, kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5PIpXdogbKVm7M and by the way hue is no longer philips, its "signify" and its mesh sometimes works and sometimes not...but i do like the mesh idea. maybe i will get that programmable chip oneday, right now i am entangled in the mesh created by my wife.

Another very informative video. I have created simple DIY IOT network code in star topology which is low cost using ESP8266 devices. My test shows it is more power efficient than even ESPNow protocol. Ever since you publish ESPNow protocol video I wanted to create a network which is lower cost compared to Lora network and more power efficient than ESPNow network. I was able to achieve that goal but It is still work in progress and I hope to get some help from your viewers to improve it and possibly port it to ESP32 hardware. My other goal is to use it for long distance communication like your video # 291 and 292 using ESP32 devices. My code is at github.com/happytm/BatteryNode Thank you again.

Interesting work indeed. I think zigbee, thread and 802.15.4 based protocols differ from wifi on the power consumtion and on the standard differing between sleeping devices and non sleeping ones. Custom protocols can be more efficient even, and simpler than standards. They have other limitations such as, they are not standards, yet, they can get popular. Good luck for your work.
