This product is an egregious breach of my privacy which is not noted in the description on Amazon.com
In order to install the app, it wants:
-access to my call logs and location information.
-access to my music, photos, and other files.
-admin access to reorder running apps and startup apps.
-admin access to control battery functions and prevent sleep.
More disturbingly, it says that in order to run, it wants:
-permission to use the camera at any time without my confirmation.
-permission to use the microphone to record at any time without my confirmation.
-permission to connect and disconnect from wi-fi, and transmit/received data.
None of the above are required in order to talk to a Bluetooth enabled device. This is supposed to be just a light bulb, it shouldn't need such privileges in order to function.
