Control philips hue bulbs with CC2531 and ZigBee Binding (+alexa)

@Mr.Bug

Is someone here already running this setup successfully?

I’m running using the Zigbee binding and at least for me few devices it works just fine.

@Mr.Bug

Does someone know a tutorial for this case?

Typically there isn’t specific tutorials like this. See How to get started (there is no step-by-step tutorial). But as suggested, the binding docs are your go-to source for information on how to get started with that binding. But the binding docs already assume you are familiar with OH concepts and in general how OH works, so start with the Concepts section of the docs and make sure you have a good understanding of the basics.

@Mr.Bug

I bought this stick, do not know if the out of the box firmare is the right.

This is another case in point where the binding docs will be your go-to source for information. From the docs:

The CC2531 USB dongle must be flashed with the correct firmware in order to work with this binding. The file can be downloaded from TI website archives (Z-STACK-ARCHIVE Driver or library | TI.com) as part of the Z-STACK-HOME v.1.2.2a package. The file name is CC2531ZNP-Pro-Secure_Standard.hex and its sha256 is 3cc5dc571ef0f49e3f42c6c2ca076d6f8fef33a945c71e6f951b839ba0599d3c .

The docs go on to provide flashing instructions.
