$10 wifi enabled light bulb makes it easy to schedule when it turns on to help with this :)
Yup, if you're going to have smart lights, get ones that still have a physical switch!
Light switches should disappear. Lights should turn themselves on as needed or when asked to.
If I wake up early with my 3m old son and hit the livingroom switch, various christmas lights turn on.Before that I will have turned on a dim salt lamp in our bedroom with a small butten I have near the bed, as to not wake my gf. I turn it off with the wall switch while leaving the room.The light in the hallway is dim because it is still early. Since he didn't poop I only need a dim light in the changing area operated by my foot.Various lights in the house turn on automatically by
Do your lights control your switches?
Doesn't need to be super clever etc for sure, but I'd certainly be happy if there could be a Philips Hue set. Or tbh even just something basic for turning them on/off would be at least slightly helpful
I have my lightbulb server rigged to toggle my lights whenever I flip a switch.
"Hey siri, lights off" is amazing if you have smart lamp
Wouldn't it make more sense to make the actual lightswitch wi-fi controllable rather than the lightbulb?
This could be awesome in a connected home. Point-and-think to turn the lights on or off.
