Philips Hue will force users to upload their data to Hue cloud - Home Assistant
(www.home-assistant.io)
Home Assistant is open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first. Powered by a worldwide community of tinkerers and DIY enthusiasts. Perfect to run on a Raspberry Pi or a local server. Available for free at home-assistant.io
I don't use Home Assistant but this is still saddening to see. Hue was always my favorite to recommend to tech folks because of the local API being pretty easy. I'm sure that will go too. Lifx was another favorite of mine but don't work in my new house with multiple wifi APs with the same name. (I got a shitty little extender with a different name and use them in my basement.) Wiz is cheap but to my knowledge there's no public API so I have no idea if it works with Home Assistant.
@JackbyDev @hillbicks sorry buddy, just saw this post from @homeassistant . Seems Philips is trying something bad: https://fosstodon.org/@homeassistant/111109147965184069
Yeah, idk how the Lemmy to Mastodon stuff works exactly but you're replying to a comment I made on a thread about that Toot.
