To control your lights you soon need to create an account and share your data with the Hue cloud.

Philips Hue will force users to upload their data to Hue cloud

I know we already got another thread about this topic, but I wanted to highlight the stance of home assistant for this topic.

I really don't see how you can argue with this post. Well, I can, but I really don't want to think about it.

Just did that. Most work was flashing the correct firmware onto the zigbee stick and now I have transferred almost all my Hue and Ikea lights. Except for those farthest way from the stick, they seem to be unable to join.

If anyone got a hint how to join these without moving the lights (screwed to the ceiling) or the stick (integrated in my server cabinet), I’d be grateful.
