The demonstrations of Internet-connected smart home lighting solutions went exactly as expected.
- heartbreak 9y agoAll of my dumb lights work properly when the power is out. I can't believe smart lighting doesn't work the same.
- dguaraglia 9y agoNever had a dumb lightbulb fail to reboot safely after a black out.

- tekromancr 9y agoAll my smart lightbulbs revert to lightbulbs in a black out. Even without network access, they still work like dumbulbs.
