For over a decade Philips Hue offered lights that work without sharing your data to the cloud. This is changing soon and we need your help to make some noise to convince them to revert this decision.

[Update Oct 2: data sharing to become optional] Philips Hue will force users to upload their data to Hue cloud

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

@homeassistant Wow, I feel really old and out date. My lights are controlled by a little piece of plastic that sticks out of the wall. When I push it up the light goes on. When I push it down the light goes off. #OldSchool.

You are not. You just chose the most robust, durable and sustainable solution.
Remote control is fine for severely disabled people.
