Philips Hue will force users to upload their data to Hue cloud - Lemmy.world

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/5717757 [https://lemmy.world/post/5717757] > 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.

I have an adblocker for my home connection. By far, Hue subdomains are the most common blocked ones.

Philips Hue sends data to servers every few minutes.

How do you have this set up? Is the blocker software on your PC or is it a raspberry pi?
If you want it to block IoT and other device connections, you have to pass all network through it.
