Poe might be an option. It would also reduce the amount of crappy devices taking up WiFi bandwidth. It would be a pain to retro fit though.

- watermelon0 3y agoAFAIK lightning solutions using PoE already exist in commercial space. For general use, I'd assume that PoE hardware/software is a bit too expensive, but maybe we can have similarly priced bulbs/lightstrips than Philips Hue.
- SV_BubbleTime 3y agoEh... not a great fit. POE++ Super Extra is 100W per port. Figure a dumb 75W-equivilent is like 10-14W. You get maybe 8 bulbs per run assuming everything is exactly as rated. But specifying doesn't work like that. You won't know if someone will plug in 24W bulbs. You need to plan sockets for the most someone could use. If you wanted DC retrofit, you would be better of doing it at the light switch and just using the same wiring and sockets.
