Seamless Integration and Smart Control
As part of the Philips Hue family, the Festavia lights integrate effortlessly. Control them through the Hue Bridge, the Hue app, or any Zigbee-compatible controller. Although they are not currently compatible with Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA, their design is similar to the Gradient Lightstrip, suggesting that compatibility could be announced soon.
Starting November 15, the Festavia string lights, priced at $159.99, are available exclusively on the Philips Hue website.
Cost-Effective Alternatives
For those seeking more budget-conscious options, consider the 250-LED set from Twinkly, which offers easy integration with Home Assistant. For the tech-savvy, DIY string lights using WLED or ESPHome on an ESP8266 or ESP32 are also viable alternatives, providing a customisable and engaging project for the holidays.
