Your username would fall under GDPR as personally identifiable information - also if your instance asks for an email address, that is also personally identifiable information under GDPR.

I think any posts that users can contribute to a social network, also fall under GDPR.

This is a potential issue that many instance owners may not have realised.

Since they are ZigBee, replace the Hue Hub with an agnostic ZigBee one.

Since you already use home assistant I would recommend this one - https://www.home-assistant.io/skyconnect/
