Thanks for the product rec. Does this work via bluetooth or did they somehow keep the servers on?

Do these go through an app/wifi or do they use conventional radio?

I bet it connects to wifi and/or bluetooth so you can control it with some smartphone app

Does it have Internet connectivity?

What's an example of the devices you're talking about?

are there other devices that do this that don't cost an arm and a leg?
