Is this real?
It shouldn't be. Usual smart bulbs let you use the light switch. Unless you somehow removed the analog switch, though, maybe?
I mean they might need to log in to reconfigure their settings, not just turn them on and off. It's the meme made after the fact that assumes he doesn't have a switch lol
But the switch needs to be in the on position all the time for the smart bulb to work. I'm pretty sure I tried turning them on like normal bulbs at my sister's and it did not work. You need to do the "Alexa turn on x"
That's correct, although I do like that my IKEA ones have programmable remote switches. I don't tend to use them anyway, but my whole thinking is to Home Assistant them whenever I have time. The real dream, though, is have my house setup up detect exact location so they can fade in and out as I approach like a freaking video game, though, which is apparently possible.
But no, I just flip a switch like a person who doesn't have time for this lol
