[Update Oct 2: data sharing to become optional] 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 liked having the full Hue ecosystem because it meant that I could tinker with HomeAssistant and the lights wouldn’t stop responding during restarts. I also already have a cloud account from the pre-HA days so that’s no big change for me but…

    This is still a scumbag move.
