I am looking for a setup that does not need to phone home to the vendors servers. Is the Philips Hue Bridge a good hub? Can you work with most of the Philips Hue stuff without phoning home?

You're not really locked in if you use Docker to pass the device, but I do understand what you're saying.

Migrating from one system to another with Docker would require moving the device and the config data and database over. It wouldn't be difficult, maybe 5 minutes of work, but I can see how someone who wants to run a setup like yours would prefer an easier method.
