You could look at https://www.home-assistant.io or if you're in the Apple ecosystem you could use the Home app which apparently can talk to Hue (for now).
Cute, especially because all their competitors have very competitive offerings these days and integrate very well into a vendor based solution like HomeKit or a open source solution such as HomeAssistant.
Case in point: LIFX (https://www.lifx.com/)
I've been using Google Assistant to control my Hue light setup for more than a year now.
Switch to HomeAssistant, I haven't opened the hue app once in months since migration
>I hate the future.
You chose this future.
But you can choose a better one: use mechanical switches. No cloud, no complexity, no need to pay homage to some malevolent centralized authority just to turn on a lamp.
get a zigbee stick and set an old PC/server up with home-assistant.io (i use conbee 2 stick)
Don't take this the wrong way... but I control my lights with mechanical switches that are installed to walls of my home. They don't need logins to any cloud services, in fact they don't even have internet.
They just work.
