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.
But are the light bulbs and blinds smart enough to detect when I’m overstimulated and want darkness, no matter the time of day?
“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.
