![]() ![]() Meaning adding more bulbs! A fancy light can easily take 5 or 6 bulbs, or a room might be converted to have spotlights instead.Ī small room might only need 4-6 spotlights, but a larger room might use 12-15 spotlights. However it’s common for house renovations to add more light. If this is truly the case for you then you probably don’t need to worry about the 50 bulb limit. You might be reading this, then looking up at the solitary pendant light hanging down from your ceiling, and then thinking “ well I have 10 rooms, so I’ll only ever use 10 Hue lights“. I go into this more in a future section – for now, just trust me that you don’t want to push a single Hue Bridge to its maximum limit of 125 connected devices! How Your Home Might Exceed The Bridge Limits Heck, a fully-fledged Windows 10 computer running 32 GB of RAM seems to struggle when Windows Defender is running a scan (okay okay, it only struggles when Chrome is opened too…), so a Hue bridge with 1000x less RAM will naturally struggle if there’s 50 Hue bulbs connected which are all following different routines and automations. This isn’t much at all, so the more devices you have connected, the more it’ll struggle. The reason for this is that the Hue bridge is just a very small computer: it has a low-performance Atmel SAM R21 CPU and 32 MB of RAM. Some people have said that they started seeing issues when having 40 Hue bulbs, and sometimes with just 8 accessories. Having said all that, there is a reason that Hue says to limit yourself to 50 bulbs and 12 accessories: performance will suffer around this level. In addition to this, 62 accessories – meaning dimmer switches, Hue tap switches and sensors – are supported, for a maximum theoretical total of 125 connected devices. the enforced hard limit – is hardcoded into the device, and it allows for 63 Hue bulbs. Either way, this soft limit is just a recommendation. This means that you’re much more limited by Hue switches and sensors (‘accessories’) than you are by bulbs. I should also clarify that their marketing also says “50 lights and 12 accessories” – in other words, there’s a second limit of just 12 accessories. The advertised 50 bulb limit is what’s called a soft limit – it’s not actually enforced, it’s just recommended. (I already have a home network in my loft). It is very easy to set up and install, just follow the steps from the rclone website. This open-source software can be configured to connect to many popular cloud storage services such as google drive and dropbox, and update and manage files and folders between your Raspberry Pi and one or more remote services. ![]() There are a number of different ways to facilitate uploading of documents to the cloud. But be careful with this command as it will thus delete the original files from the host computer. This can be handy to not use up the extra space on the Raspberry Pi when files have already been copied. It is also possible to delete the source files automatically with the -remove-source-files flag. The -delete flag tells rsync to delete files in the destination directory when they do no (longer) exist in the source directory. By default, rsync does not delete anything from the destination directory. In order to keep two directories truly in sync, it is necessary to delete files from the destination directory if they are removed from the source. With the most basic command just needing rsync followed by the source and destination directory: In the Network Discovery section, select Turn on network discovery and also check the box that says Turn on automatic setup of network connected devices. Scroll down to the right and click Change Advanced Sharing Settings. To enable remote connections on Windows, open Settings, click Network & Internet, and click Wi-Fi or Ethernet, depending on your connection. Now on the right side of the window it will display a command with which you will be able to connect to the computer using SSH. To enable remote connections on a Mac go to System Preferences > Sharing and tick the on box next to Remote Login. To be able to send files from the Raspberry Pi we need to enable remote connections on the clients. Enable remote connections on client computer Rsync, which stands for remote sync, transfers and synchronises files while comparing the modification dates and sizes of files, thereby only changing files when needed. One of the best ways to synchronise files across computers on the same network is using rsync. Enable remote connections on client computer.Here I provide a guide for using rsync an rclone, which make it very straight-forward to synchronise files with any device. There are numerous ways to synchronise files on your Raspberry Pi with other systems. ![]() File synchronisation with rsync and rclone ![]()
