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.

    Would it not be possible to block this using firewall rules?

      I’m blocking my bridge’s access to the internet right now, just in case they push an update for this. I never use the Hue app anyway.

      Hmm, maybe. Depends on the infrastructure they put up. If there is a separate domain for the telemetry, then you can block it. Still no guarantee that it still works though.

      The app will need internet access to login though. That really is a cat and mouse game that is not worth your time I’d say.
