Any suggestion for smart light bulbs that work without the cloud? Don‘t want to have the server shut down in five years when the bulb still has 15 years in it.

- flo123456 7y agoBasically anything that can be flashed with open firmeware, such as Tasmota (https://github.com/arendst/Tasmota/wiki/Prerequisites https://github.com/arendst/Tasmota/wiki/Prerequisites) plus a local instance of Homeassistant. It needs a bit of work and sometimes soldering skills, but some devices can be flashed without soldering and in general it’s not too hard to do. :-)
- fsh 7y agoPretty much any zigbee bulb (Philips Hue, Osram Lightify, Ikea Tradfri, and tons of chinese brands) can be controlled with a cheap CC2231 USB dongle (~20€ including programmer for flashing) and zigbee2mqtt. I use homeassistant for a nice UI and Node-RED for automation.
