I'm thinking about getting a smart light bulb to my room, but I want to control it from my Raspberry Pi. I checked out LIFX, and it looks great, but a bit too expensive. So, I was looking into buying IKEA's Tradfri bulb, since it costs way less. I found a python API for it, and I can buy a Zigbee module for my Raspberry. Is it possible to use the Tradfri lamp only trough raspberry, without buying any of the controllers from IKEA?
