As someone who has smart bulbs and smart switches. The switches are a 1000x more preferable. It’s nice to be able to use my phone, but it fucking sucks needing to use my phone every time I want to control them.
Smart switches are one of the next things I'll upgrade in the house. But some of my switches control fans as well, so there's not a huge amount of choice when it comes to finding something that's compatible and works with some sort of standard instead of having their own app.
That's where occupancy sensors shine. I generally don't have to touch my phone or switches.
