Attached: 1 image Philips Hue will soon force users to create a Hue account and sign in to continue to use the app and control the smart lights. The best security model to protect smart devices is to keep them disconnected from the internet, or at least keep this option available. #Privacy #InfoSec #privacymatters #cybersecurity

        Yup, zigbee+Bluetooth. Am using a couple hue bulbs on my home assistant with a USB zigbee stick.
