One of the most amazing things about TRÅDFRI is that it’s actually well-designed. The software is minimalistic, and designed for security by default, it’s fault-tolerant, and it’s local by default.

A massive contrast to the silicon-valley node.js on each lightbulb products, reliant on cloud servers, with analytics everywhere; or the cheap chinese unsecured lightbulbs that are just days after purchase infected with Mirai.

A welcome change, indeed.

I agree. I also really appreciate the build quality in the remote.

I am a bit disappointed by their slowness in supporting Google Home by default - hence my project. It would be a lot better if they actually open-sourced the code for the gateway.

How's the responsiveness/latency? I have a Hue setup with the old circular bridge and can't stand how unpredictable the delay is between sending a command and the lights responding.
