The kind I have, worst that happens is I can't change the color or warmth of the light until I am reconnected. They still work with the switch going on or off, and they are set to return to default color/warmth settings when the fixture they are in is physically turned off so I also won't be stuck with rave party disco lights.
The only "smart" light fixture I have has its own separate remote for switching between modes and adjusting light. I will never buy a device that either needs Bluetooth of Wi-Fi.
If it has to be smart, instead of every single bulb, wouldn't you better have the light switch in smart?
If you ever need a smart bulb stick with one that supports Matter. Matter devices don’t need an internet connection.
I like smart tech, as long as I can make it work for me and not just another data vacuum for some faceless corporation. I've got Home Assistant handling a lot of my stuff now, and I'm moving things over to it and replacing corporate-app-only things with things that can work locally.
Yes, we did.
The one I have in my bedroom blinks like crazy if it gets desynchronized with the cloud and that happens all the time
