Yeah I'm never buying those bulbs again. Learned that lesson years ago.

Being able to change colors from your phone is neat but let's face it, you're going to have it on the same setting forever anyway.

Maybe once I start selfhosting I'll fuck with HomeAssistant but till I control what connects to what, how, and why, I'm good.

Matter over Thread is generally what you should look for. Local control is always possible, and it'll work with any major ecosystem.

You do need a "Thread Border Router", which you likely already own. If you're tech inclined, Home Assistant is amazing, though it takes some tinkering.

My concern is, those are microphones that listen if you criticize Our Great Leader.
