> Stop buying smart bulbs.

I must confess when I read statements like that I am inclined to do precisely the opposite. My favorite comments on HN are those expressed with less preaching and more reason.

It was a rant for sure - and obviously I shouldn’t care what others do, but the smart bulbs seem to have limited the market for what we really need which is the smart switch.

One of the reasons I hate them is when you e.g enter an AirBnb and find the switches taped and a manual for how to switch on the lights using your phone. This really is a thing.

Agreed. It’s worse than figuring out TV remotes!
