I've been in the home automation business for over 25 years. Can confirm that smart lighting is the absolute best investment.

I've installed and programmed lighting systems for over $100k but have personally spent less than $250 for Ikea devices for my apartment. Just the ability to dim and set the color of the lights at certain times of day is key for me.

Controlled Lighting isn't only about convenience, it's about setting a mood. You can set a warm dim scene to be more calming or a bright white scene for cooking or cleaning.

I'm curous about these, how is the privacy on the apps? Having my data mined from my lightbulbs is my last consideration against taking the step tbh

This seems contradictory. I'll avoid them for now, thanks!
