Why doesn't Espalexa need certificates? #103

Why doesn't the Hue Protocol is espalexa need certificates? Seems fauxmo (wemo protocol) does.

If this protocol can be used for a project, it seems much easier, and lower cost.

Luckily they are not enforcing an encrypted connection on the local Hue api. Once they start doing it that would be problematic resource-wise. Of course you can use it, but i would not advise doing so in a commercial product since it may break with an Alexa update at any point.

Thanks. That makes a lot of sense!
