Osram is discontinuing the cloud server operation for Lightify as of August 31, 2021.
In this particular case, it’s only somewhat problematic because the devices can mostly be connected to Hue gateways. However, this is a clear example for anyone who equips their home or new build (considering the lifespan of a house!) with such gimmicks simply because they look nice in advertisements and appear cheaper. Just imagine what would happen if, for example, Loxone ever decided to do something similar. But hey, we did warn you.
Fire away!

One person fiddles around, another does it right from the start.Proper fine-tuning is the real art. 😀 I have also never seen a truly practical use of KNX. But I am also very old school (I even ordered manual roller shutters from the installer).
I enjoy tinkering just as much (yesterday still holding a soldering iron and today just crawling out from under the car), and that’s exactly why I installed KNX in the house. The house simply has to work reliably (for decades), but at the same time, I want to be able to make quick changes whenever needed.
That way, I have more time for tinkering.
