Philips Hue will force users to upload their data to Hue cloud
www.home-assistant.io
To control your lights you soon need to create an account and share your data with the Hue cloud.

I know we already got another thread about this topic, but I wanted to highlight the stance of home assistant for this topic.

I really don’t see how you can argue with this post. Well, I can, but I really don’t want to think about it.

    I have completely swapped to just normal LED dimmer switches.

    I live far enough out in the country that we get brown outs for less than an eye blink. Every fucking light bulb will shine bright like a diamond and there is no way to turn it off.

    I’ve tried setting the ‘Power On’ Behavior but it just ignores it for these scenarios. It’s so maddening to wake up at 3 AM with every light on having paid hundreds for light bulbs I ‘own’ but can’t command.
