(www.home-assistant.io)
Home Assistant is open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first. Powered by a worldwide community of tinkerers and DIY enthusiasts. Perfect to run on a Raspberry Pi or a local server. Available for free at home-assistant.io
Why does your lightbulb need to connect to the internet at all? Automation does not require the cloud.
