Linking Smart bulbs with a hard switch (midwest.social)
 

I recently added a Hue bridge with 2 bulbs that are in lamps. I did set them up in HomeKit to act as 1 accessory. Obviously the lamps need to be "on" in order to work through the Home app/Siri. But I am wondering if there's a way through Automations to turn on both bulbs through a real dumb switch? Obviously one bulb would need power on and just be off in software.

What's the Best Fast Food Chain Based in the Midwest? in c/askmidwest@midwest.social

What’s the criteria? Simply originating in the Midwest? Or not available in all contiguous 48 states? Or ones that embrace their Midwest roots? Do gas stations count?

What do you think of Skyline Chili? in c/askmidwest@midwest.social

Visited Cincy with the family last year. We like to try the local foods, but I couldn't bring myself to try the chili. Which is funny, because I like my chili with macaroni noodles and some shredded cheese on top.

Thank you all for your patience! in c/main@midwest.social

I like to think all of our Midwest internet traffic is meeting at the server and saying "Ope, sorry, after you...No I insist, after you."

So to a lay person, are the speed/responsiveness issues just because so many people are using all the servers, or is it this instance, or the Lemmy software (or a bit of all 3)? I tried posting a simple link too !nfl@lemmy.world and it just spun the whole time.
