Smart Home Hub
M2C2 can surface and control compatible devices through several bridges:
- Philips Hue — lights and scenes via Hue Bridge.
- Tuya — plugs and switches via Tuya / Smart Life cloud.
- Home Assistant — consolidate almost everything with a long-lived token.
- MQTT — subscribe to topics for sensors and actuators.
ℹ️ Note: Voice commands for lights and scenes are listed under Smart home in the Piper reference.
Design tips
- Name devices for speech — “Kitchen Ceiling” beats “Bulb 4”.
- Group rooms consistently across bridges to avoid duplicate tiles.
- Fail safe — if the mirror UI crashes, your physical wall switches should still work.
Troubleshooting
Nothing responds
Pi on guest Wi‑Fi cannot reach Hue bridge on LAN — move to main network.
