[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.

    Capitalism is so exhausting. Can’t they just make a lighbulb that changes colour and leave it at that?
