I don't think my housemate/landlord has yet realised that his plan to replace all of the house's lamps with 'smart' bulbs is going to cost him more than just buying replacement lamps
since the existing mains dimmer switches won't work with them and normal light switches don't really work well with them either (since you need to leave the power to the lamps turned on in order to remotely control them). Not particularly smart, in my opinion...

I have a few wifi smart bulbs - look good to begin with, then once the novelty wears off, they're pretty boring.
I wouldn't want to make all my lights dependent on a single point of failure eg wifi hub or zigbee bridge - I can see that ending in some loud sweary words at some point
