I once had a passing interest in smart lights and outlets. I thought the idea of controlling all of my lights with my smartphone was the neatest idea ever.
I then happened upon an article that reviewed a specific smart home hub, and their trouble with the associated smart devices. In one case, his smart devices kept disconnecting, necessitating him to have to get out the ladder and crawl along a narrow crawlspace in order to access said light bulb so a reset could be carried out.
Imagine having to do that a couple times a month... Multiplied by however many bulbs you have.
I'll take a dumb red and black wire, thanks.
