Smart home set livarno from Lidl

[gert1956]

Hi,
this week I bought a livarno smart home set with a silvercrest gateway, a remote and 3 e27 colour bulbs from lidl.
Did someone else bought this set and connected it to domoticz?
I read some posts from 2020 about unsuccessful attempts. Is there any progress in this?
Or should I return the set and start with a zigbee usb stick that connects directly to RPi
Thanks for helping

I did not see somebody connecting the silvercrest gateway to domoticz. Perhaps it can be flashed to another firmware that is used on the open source zigbee sticks.

If you buy your own zigbee stick you can still use the bulbs so it is up to you if you bring the whole set back and buy a stick and new 3 bulbs.

Having your own Zigbee Stick is recommended but I found something here that seems to work
You could use it with zigbee2mqtt

thanks for your replies. I'll return the set and will obtain an open source stick; most of the community seems to use them, why be different . First goal is to connect sensors for temperature and humidity and maybe later automated light switching with movement detectors

On second thoughts I'll keep the set. The bulbs alone are worth keeping it. I'll study the home assistant solution and try to integrate it in domoticz. Will keep you posted. It can take some time, but since I retired early this year, I can spend it .
