    And your last point is moot because that is the exact priority. Sell product which in turn makes customer into product.

      look into home assistant. you can unlink almost every device from their cloud and run them locally. No internet connection needed.

      I use it for WAY more than lights. I can monitor and control my 3D printer and weed grow, remotely. Now I have ONE app for all my IOT devices

          I love that my lights turn off 15 minutes after I leave home, and turn on as I enter. I don’t touch light switches ever.

          also they all dim according to the sun setting and rising, so they are always the perfect brightness. And helps my sleep schedule.

          When I walk into a friends place at night and the lights are all searingly bright white I cringe

            Well I mean you do you. I will not be changing all my lights and such. I have thought of putting home assistant on my little server but I literally have nothing to connect to it except maybe my raspberry pi running octoprint.

              I love being connected to my printer’s remotely through home assistant. I can cancel a job if I see it is failing
