You can buy plenty of 'smart' light bulbs.
I have rooms where I've got 14 light bulbs in the ceiling.
This would be stoopidly expensive to get 'smart light bulbs' for each room.
No problem.
Get a 'smart light switch'?
PROBLEM: these don't exist.
They do exist... but not in ANY well known brand names.
Why is that??
The conspiracy theorist inside of me tell me it's far more profitable to make smart lightbulbs that need replacing every 2 years - so they don't make the switches smart - which might only get changed every 2 years.
Search Amazon and you'll find PLENTY of Chinese brands. Hmm... I don't want to risk getting something that might blow a fuse and spark a few surges.
