Hi, i have been using smart lamps from aliexpress for awhile now. But these lamps force me to connect to an android app that phones-home to Beijing. Without the chinese yeelight app, i cannot change the color of the lamps. I find that kind of creepy.
Is there a good smart lamp system that is privacy respecting and hopefully opensource?
One that is locked to my local lan instead of a chinese trojan horse that spy’s on me 24/7.
I’m an arch linux user and i know some basic python scripting.
“Smart” is like “AI” - all marketing, no real smarts.
In a well-set up automated house, you could tell it with a couple of words that you’re overstimulated, and it would shut everything down for you. No walking around closing everything up. So, yeah, that might be a pretty good use case.
