I have Hue lights, they're nice, always just work. But now (some time back) they suddenly require an account and I get ads in the app. I have always easily moved Hue lamps from the Hue bridge to the Home Assistant SkyConnect (now called Connect ZBT-1, much better ahum). I sleep better because I know I can do this.
Yeah I also use Hue lights, but since I don't use a Hue bridge and simply use Zigbee directly the lights have no internet access and I have no restrictions on usage.
