The main reason I bought this is that I want some fun multiclored lights to play with, without creating an account and having to log in to something to turn on a freakin' light bulb. And it works great...for now... But in the Hue app there's a message that an account will be required in the near future.
So for now, present day, this is performing as advertised and provides a networked smart light solution without having to give anyone your personal information. But if that account requirement ever goes live, I will be returning and knocking this review down to three stars.
Because requiring an account to turn on a LIGHT BULB... It's a freakin light bulb!!! Why do you need a username and password for a LIGHT BULB?!
