As far as IoT goes, I too am relatively happy with my hue bulbs. In particular I appreciate the fact that they still work if my internet goes down.
However, if I was starting from scratch today, I'd probably just install dimmer switches in the wall and skip the IoT aspect entirely.
- ChainOfFools 3y agoThere is exactly one device on the market (that I have found) which seems to satisfy both sides of your interests here: a rotary dimmer by a somewhat obscure company called Martin Jerry which functions perfectly well as a dumb dimmer but also can be fully controlled as an iot device. The only downside (apart from the idiosyncratic physical knob design) is that it's a tuya platform device, but the manufacturer also markets a DIY version which is trivially flashable to open source tasmota or ES32Home, severing the connection to the mothership entirely while retaining all functionality.
