it wouldn't be difficult for Elgato to put out a product that was equivalent to a Hue hub, or even build it in to the Stream Deck.

yeah... hah, all the cheap stuff on Amazon looks shit now I've seen your lights

Just to clarify: because Control Center won't run on Mac High Sierra, the systray apps and/or Stream Deck won't work.
So it's phone control, run a raspberry Pi or write my own powershell script and use a keystroke mapper.

I think they're great lights with lots of possible configurable aspects. But unless I'm missing something the control option is definitely a problem for me because I just want to be able to turn them on and off easily without running dedicated software (which isn't compatible with Mac High Sierra), maintaining a seprate server or VM or switching focus away to another device like a phone. It's the same reason I prefer to use a dedicated hardware audio streamer rather than a phone app, once my phone is in my hand I'm checking half a dozen other apps without really thinking, and no longer just sitting down listening to music.
The Home Assistant stuff is great, thanks for that but running a Raspberry Pi solely to switch on a light that's literally right in front of me seems excessive :)
Edit: I do hope I'm missing something b/c I can't see a better light on the market in terms of quality and design

Got it thanks. It’s a shame b/c it looks like a great setup, but I’m not interested in fumbling for my phone to switch the lights on every time I take a video call.

Thanks. If Control Center is at the heart of the workflow and it doesn't run on my 3 yr old OS (Elvato have to take the blame for that one), this becomes a non-starter for me. You saved me a lot of ballache here - much appreciated.

Sorry for all the questions but when you're on linux does the Stream Deck remember settings you've set up using your phone app? Or does the Stream Deck no longer control the Key Lights when you're on Linux?
I have a TB2 to Ethernet adapter that you can have for a forum donation
If you’re just using one device in the garden then I’d be tempted to sack off the wifi and just go wired on the laptop
