  • You’re definitely right, I’m going to remove the Hue hub and connect everything to the ConBee. They were separated before because Hue came first, and I didn’t want to rebuild my lighting setup at the time. HA automations were set up to use Hue-side groups, rather than HA-side groups. The thought hadn’t occurred to me yet that I can unify them now - but I definitely will.

    I did think I remembered that Hue bulbs don’t work properly as ZigBee routers, but could be wrong there



  • I do! I am hosting HAOS as one of my VMs, I love it. I’m planning an upgrade to have a wall mounted tablet with the dashboard this time.

    That’s a good point - I had Hue first, then got a ZigBee stick to add later devices, but left Hue alone because ‘not broken/don’t fix’ - but this time, I would like to ditch the Hue hub and set up everything on the proper ZigBee network. Thanks for reminding me!



  • Several things go into string setup and buzz

    • truss rod
    • fret leveling
    • nut
    • neck angle
    • bridge height

    If it’s a new problem, truss rod is probably the most likely to have changed recently (wood moves), followed by fret wear.

    If this guitar has always done this, it could be anything in its setup. Depending on how bad it is, it could even be intentional, the low strings are more likely to buzz and some folks are ok with it on an electric in order to get lower action on all the strings.

    It’s unlikely to be (only) your nut though - once you fret a string, the nut is removed from the equation, so it can’t be the source of 2nd fret buzz (edit: any fretted buzz).

    If you want to fully diagnose it rather than guess& check, you’d want a long straight-edge to check the neck straightness, a short straight-edge to check for unlevel frets (you can get a specially designed one called a fret rocker), and any small thing like a credit card to ‘measure’ your string action height at various frets.

    Fixing the truss rod is a good repair to do anyway*, though. Hope this helps!
