Philips Hue Verifiedhomebridge-hue | Works | Works after installing deCONZ via hb-config and copying API keySaved copyI'm having issues setting up the Raspbee 2 on my raspberry pi 4B. I just recently bought everything, so its literally all brand new equipment. I tried following the instructions for setting up the RaspBee 2. After restarting it (like it said in the instructions), i went to type in: sudo hwclock --systohc sudo hwclock --verbose and it threw up the following error at me: hwclock: ioctl(RTC_SET_TIME) to /dev/rtc0 to set the time failed: Permission denied I tried to install the hue plugin anyways, but even that is having issues, which I'm guessing is related to the hwclock issue.

Philips Hue Verifiedhomebridge-hue | Partly works | Shows as a light instead of outlet; type changed via ph command-line toolSaved copyI installed a Zigbee outlet and paired it to Homebridge using a RaspBee II. It shows up as a light instead of an outlet, so if I say “turn off all the lights” it also turns off the outlet. There are instructions on how to change the device type in the link I posted but I’m completely lost. Like, I know enough to set up the Raspberry Pi, install RaspBee and Phoscon but this is waaaayyyy above my pay grade. Can anyone help?

| deCONZ with Homebridge | Not working | Phoscon would not connect and clock issues; returned after six hoursSaved copyI agree Raspbee II do not do the job it says it will do. If you as I like to play with your Pi pick another project. This is not the one that will bring you joy.

In ReReHome
Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
