I generally agree but having a lightbulb that can be scheduled to change brightness, temperature, and on/off status has been pretty great for my sleep. Only being able to control it with my phone is a pain in the ass especially when the widget breaks and I now have to unlock, open an app, and flip through screens just to enter my bedroom.



Right. I have a smart bulb and there are things that it's good for (I like super dim warm light for having enough light to see by but not waking me up), but turning on your light with your phone is awful. I use Alexa for it and it's not a ton better. Most of the lights in my house I actively don't want to have smart versions of.
