+A list of IOT devices to avoid.
+
+Some of the reasons things get listed here:
+
+- A device had an open API, then switched to requiring you to use their application instead of directly scraping the API
+- Devices which are cloud-only
+- Anything that requires you to use _their_ application and doesn't document their API
+
+

+| Philips Hue | Philips is forcing users to "upgrade" to a version of their Philips app that requires login to a cloud account.
