Also….. the wall panels are SUPER cool, but mostly unnecessary once you hit iteration 3.
There’s nothing you need to touch!
So they’re great for “displays” or “cam views” at that point.
I've got a bulb based system, but I have switches that will operate without Internet. I don't want to rely on my phone for everything if my Internet is out.
The bulb based system is painful when you hit a normal light switch and it doesn’t do what you expect it to do because the bulb is “intelligent”
Depends on scénario really, but yeah I’m getting away from “internet dependant”
I rent, so I can't change switches. Luckily some of the switches I have cover traditional switches.
Fair enough!
