Hiermit hat sich wieder einmal bestaetigt dass man KEINEM Cloud Service 
langfristig trauen kann...

Das ist OSRAM ! - hatte einmal einen guten Ruf

Email von gestern:

Dear LIGHTIFY User,

Unfortunately, we have to share some bad news with you today. After five 
years of service, we have taken the tough decision to shut-off the 
LIGHTFY cloud servers on August 31st, 2021.

What you need to know now:

You still have plenty of time to react. The LIGHTIFY cloud servers will 
be available until August 31st, 2021. Only after this date the LIGHTIFY 
service and support will be discontinued.

snip....

Why is OSRAM switching off the LIGHTIFY cloud servers?

The LIGHTIFY system is meanwhile technically outdated: Its performance 
(e.g. in respect to reaction times when controlling devices) is 
significantly lower compared to other systems in the market. 
Furthermore, the implemented ZigBee® standard is not state of the art 
anymore (ZigBee® Light Link and ZigBee® Home Automation instead of 
ZigBee® 3.0) which makes it more and more difficult to ensure 
compatibility to other smart home systems. The needed investments can 
unfortunately not be made – especially in regard to the divestment of 
the general lighting end-consumer business in 2016.
