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 wouldn’t say they’re great; they’re adequate. There’s a lot of issues with the bulb firmware that still needs ironing out both with stability and feature set.

        Basic features like turning a bulb on with a set brightness or color (if you’re lucky, you can turn on with a set brightness). No support for scenes (due to matter spec) which can lead to issues sending commands to light groups. And if you want to actually update bulbs good luck because it’s buggy as hell.

          Mine always turn on to the last color and brightness that they were previously. Does it work differently for you?

            Sure, but if I tell a bulb to turn on at a different color and brightness, it should be able to do that. Nanoleaf cannot.

              That must be an issue with your Home Assistant automation, it’s not a limitation of Nanoleaf. It works for me on the Nanoleaf app and Google Home. However I still need to get the SkyConnect in order to test it in Home Assistant.
