I think standing in front of the light is somewhat missing the purpose of it being connected to the network.

- Grustaf 5y agoWhat is the point then? I'v never understood it, except as a novelty (my kids think it's cool).
- acuozzo 5y agoI am not a user, but I believe the idea is to have the light settings be part of a larger macro. For instance, you're upstairs and you wish to watch a movie in your home theater in the basement. You hit the button on your phone and while you travel to the basement the lights lining the hallways and staircases come on (if off); the projector turns on and switches to the movie input; the receiver turns on and switches to the movie input; the theater recliner adjusts to your preferred position; the bias lighting turns on; and two minutes later the lights lining the hallways and staircases revert to their previous state.
- Grustaf 5y agoOk but this is still mostly for novelty though, right? It’s not really about saving 2-3 seconds of work I presume (probably takes an hour to program it just right), it’s more that it feels cool and futuristic I imagine. Especially since this kind of thing has only been possible in really high end homes until now, so it feels exclusive. At least that’s my read.
- allenu 5y agoI agree. I can’t even turn them on and off away from my home for some reason. That was the main reason I bought them. The other reason was for the color temperature and dim control.
