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

You'll want to look at z wave or ZigBee. Then control with home assistant.

Hue is I recall is ZigBee so you can control with home assistant.
