Rachel nailed it, as usual. I was an early adapter and have a houseful of Hue stuff, but over the last year or so I've switched to buying Nanoleaf bulbs. Hue is a little nicer, but not enough to make their terrible app worth the hassle.

I've seen a few recommendations now for the Ikea Dirigera hub, so fine. I've ordered one. Assuming it works as expected, I'll migrate everything next week. So long, Philips. I liked your stuff, but why'd you have to get greedy? Was being twice the price of your competition not enough?

I hadn’t heard of Nanoleaf, so I checked out their site. Immediately a GDPR notice filled my screen, which is no surprise, but they make it pretty hard to opt out. Most importantly, though, it states that they share _identifiable_ data with TikTok. I think I’ll be avoiding that brand.
