  • I got to be fair, I do agree here. Buy smart switches where possible. I have never had problems with those, while smart bulbs are sometimes inefficient, too dim, flicker at low brightness, and are more expensive.

    We have about 12 smart switches and 6 bulbs or so. From Sonoff and Athom.

    Another option we have is smart bulb with a smart switch. So you don’t turn the power off from the bulb. This is the worst of both worlds.
