I recently renovated and said fuck no to all the smart home shit. Just the idea of having to troubleshoot the WiFi because my kitchen light won't turn on drives me into a rage.

    Good call.

    I took over for a previous manager who installed all smart lights controlled via Alexa. Every week....every fucking week...there would be a section not working, lights with disco colors, Alexa was offline so we could give the command to turn on lights..

    When I took over, 1st task was to rip out all the smart shit and I put in regular LED bulbs controlled with the light switch. Works every time

    The closest thing I have to "the world of tomorrow" are regular degular hand operated dimmer switches. They're great. I have one in every room.

    No idea why everyone thinks you need the Internet to dim a light.
