A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun

2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason

5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

And it must not connect to wifi or the internet.
I love telling my phone to turn off my lights in bed, or changing the color of my lights with a simple command. It’s super handy and I’m never going back.
I agree that that is nice. However, in my opinion, it is not functionality that should be facilitated by a lighting receptacle standard.
Hue or whatever brand you like, can build that functionality on top of an independent standard.
That way, you can use it if you want, but the standard doesn't force you to. Similarly to the current situation but with a more sensible standard for low power applications such as LED lighting
Ahhh. I see. Yea, just make all the receptacles the same! Hue is nice in that the bridge doesn’t need to connect to the internet to communicate with the devices, and the lights only go through the same bridge.
