As someone that used to run a big app - this is effective. Upper management really cares about ratings/reviews/comments

> For any app that does this, go to the App Store and give them a one-star rating and a comment on why you’re doing this.

Also leave a 1-star review on Amazon. It's totally fair: if they can "update" their product, I can update my opinion of it.

Unfortunately for me (now), I bought all my Hue stuff at local stores because it was more convenient than Amazon.

lol, the homekit provides said security.

I did this when they excluded other Zigbee lights from the hub, even though they had previously worked. They backed down on that, and maybe they will with this as well.

With that being said, I'm done with Hue.

Just left my first ever review just to voice my annoyance at this forced and pointless change.
