Indeed. I own Hue bulbs, and the only reason I've bought more, after my initial purchase, is because they have an API that let other systems control my lights.

Indeed. I own Hue bulbs, and the only reason I've bought more, after my initial purchase, is because they have an API that let other systems control my lights. Currently, I'm using home assistant (https://home-assistant.io/ https://home-assistant.io/) for controlling the lights, and if I ever buy other lights, they'd be controlled from there as well. What should be interesting now is to wait and see if they lock down the API as well...
