Think outside the box (outside the bulb?)
z-wave "behind the switch" modules are super easy to install (you pull out the switch on the wall, and you put a small box in between the switch and the mains wiring), and you can control a whole circuit with one ~$40 switch. Depending on which one you get, they also support 3 and 4 way circuits (although with some caveats).
And it comes with the additional benefits that it will always work with the manual switch (turning it off or on), and it will work with any lightbulbs you may want to use in the future, but the downside is that you can't really get full RGB colors in the bulbs if that's something you are going for.
- rootusrootus 7y agoThis is more or less my preferred solution. I use z-wave switches, not modules, though. I don't get RGB control, but I do get home automation that fails gracefully back to "works just like a light switch always did" if something goes wrong.
