honestly I’d rather a sort of dumb bulb that has dynamically changeable RBG and color temp settings but no wireless features and receives marching orders form a central smart home computer, versus the currently available solutions. I mean there isn’t an Ethernet port at every light socket but I don’t just want to litter my home with cybersecurity nightmare, proprietary, not easily interoperable random IOT trash.

I’d rather the hardware scattered around be as dumb as possible to do the fun stuff and be only connected to one general purpose computer I can configure and control to my liking. I can keep one PC up to date versus dozens of light bulbs and whatnot, I can insist on fully FOSS so the NSA isn’t spying on me through my fucking light bulbs, I can remotely control it with SSH, etc.

you’d have to make an open standard for home wiring to make it work (can we have ethernet in every room for general purpose usage too while we’re at it?) but one could jerry rig something with ethernet over power line I’m sure
