  • The annoying thing is that each thing requires it's own "hub" and that hub needs to be powered so you end up with a mess of power adapters near your router.

    The hive hub power adapter looks like a generic micro usb, phone charger type affair so I suppose you could get a multi port USB charger and run multiples off that.

    Is Hue the same?

    Would still end up with a load of hubs though.
