It’d still be calling home without it, but maybe not as much as it seems?
Comment on Philips Hue will force users to upload their data to Hue cloud

I have an adblocker for my home connection. By far, Hue subdomains are the most common blocked ones.
Philips Hue sends data to servers every few minutes.

Not necessarily. Sometimes I turn off the adblocker for days and still have the requests when turning it back.

How do you have this set up? Is the blocker software on your PC or is it a raspberry pi?
osanuha@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Adguard Home or Pi Hole, in a device that, indeed, can be a Raspberry Pi.
