    No, the biggest problem with smart homes is that honestly, a switch on the wall that always works, even when you don’t have your phone on you and even in the dark when you are half asleep is a pretty optimal interface for things like lights.

      If only they made smart switches you could use, perhaps?

      100% agree that smart bulbs are incredibly stupid and you should go with a switch if you want to smartify shit.

        The problem with the idea of smart light switches is that they are only useful if you aren’t already in the room and turning on your light when you aren’t there is a pretty niche use case.
