The kind I have, worst that happens is I can't change the color or warmth of the light until I am reconnected. They still work with the switch going on or off, and they are set to return to default color/warmth settings when the fixture they are in is physically turned off so I also won't be stuck with rave party disco lights.

If it has to be smart, instead of every single bulb, wouldn't you better have the light switch in smart?

The only "smart" light fixture I have has its own separate remote for switching between modes and adjusting light. I will never buy a device that either needs Bluetooth of Wi-Fi.

If you ever need a smart bulb stick with one that supports Matter. Matter devices don’t need an internet connection.

I like smart tech, as long as I can make it work for me and not just another data vacuum for some faceless corporation. I've got Home Assistant handling a lot of my stuff now, and I'm moving things over to it and replacing corporate-app-only things with things that can work locally.

Yes, we did.

The one I have in my bedroom blinks like crazy if it gets desynchronized with the cloud and that happens all the time
