今天收到了歐司朗的智能家居雲服務關閉的郵件。
The LIGHTIFY Cloud-Server will be switched off on August 31st 2021
OSRAM stellt den Cloud-Serverbetrieb von LIGHTIFY zum 31. August 2021 ein
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.
This means, that there will be no further updates and a connection to the Amazon and Google voice assistants will not be possible anymore. Compatibility to newer versions of the iOS and Android operating systems can’t also be assured thereafter. However, until then you can use your LIGHTIFY system without limitations.
As the LIGHTIFY System is a cloud-based system, the majority of functions will unfortunately be lost and LIGHTIFY app control will be only very limited. Here you can find an overview of all affected functions.
What you need to do after this period:
To control your smart lights and plugs beyond August 31st, 2021, you need to fully reset your entire system. Afterwards you can simply integrate it into any other ZigBee® compatible system – like other smart lighting or smart home systems with intelligent assistants that are available on the market.
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The LIGHTIFY system is meanwhile technically outdated: Its performance (e.g. in respect to reaction times when controlling devices) is significantly lower compared to other systems in the market.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.

尊敬的LIGHTIFY用戶，
不幸的是，我們今天必須與您分享一些壞消息。服務五年後，我們做出了艱難的決定，於2021年8月31日關閉LIGHTFY雲服務器。
您現在需要知道的是：
您仍然有足夠的時間做出反應。 LIGHTIFY雲服務器將一直可用到2021年8月31日。只有在此日期之後，LIGHTIFY服務和支持纔會停止。
這意味着將沒有進一步的更新，並且將不再可能與Amazon和Google語音助手建立連接。此後，也無法保證與新版本的iOS和Android操作系統兼容。但是，在此之前，您可以不受限制地使用LIGHTIFY系統。
由於LIGHTIFY系統是基於雲的系統，因此不幸的是，大多數功能將丟失，並且LIGHTIFY應用程序的控制將非常有限。您可以在這裏找到所有受影響功能的概述。
在這段時間之後您需要做什麼：
要控制2021年8月31日以後的智能燈和插頭，您需要完全重置整個系統。之後，您可以將其簡單地集成到任何其他與ZigBee®兼容的系統中-例如市場上出售的其他智能照明或帶有智能助手的智能家居系統。
爲何歐司朗關閉LIGHTIFY雲服務器？
同時，LIGHTIFY系統在技術上已經過時：與市場上的其他系統相比，其性能（例如，在控制設備時的反應時間方面）明顯較低。此外，已實施的ZigBee®標準已不再是最新技術（ZigBee®Light Link和ZigBee®家庭自動化，而不是ZigBee®3.0），這使得確保與其他智能家居系統的兼容性變得越來越困難。不幸的是，無法進行所需的投資，尤其是在2016年剝離一般照明最終用戶業務方面。
