I almost went Lifx, but last thing I needed is more things on my wifi with the issues i've been having with it lately.
Any quick and dirty suggestions for buying bulbs? I bought wife an ambiance kit and got a couple of the floodlight bulkbs for her crochet area (replacing similar bulbs), letting her control exactly the kind of light for when she does her craft shit, which she loved. Picked up a bulb for an orphaned lamp in the bedroom (not on a switch) and a colored bulb for play w/ in the living room.
How far off are earlier gen bulbsd, if we're all on ambiance-style bulbs is a really big drop off if we bought cheaper older bulbs (and there are some other off brands that work too right?)
Created a bunch of triggers but they're silly and awkward (trigger living room lights energize!) and need to simplify the language I used, rename some of the rooms (have both Living Room and Living Room Light and things get confused).
Overall, pretty neat, we're going to be buying a lot more bulbs, and might look into getting some string lighting for the kitchen, stuff for the kids rooms, etc.
