To control your lights you soon need to create an account and share your data with the Hue cloud.

Today’s story is about Philips Hue by Signify. They will soon start forcing accounts on all users and upload user data to their cloud. For now, Signify says you’ll still be able to control your Hue lights locally as you’re currently used to, but we don’t know if this may change in the future. The privacy policy allows them to store the data and share it with partners.

    Fuck proprietary hubs and technology, and fuck me for buying into that shit in the first place.

    Open source Matter/Zigbee/Zwave when?
