I find it a genuine quality-of-life improvement to adjust the color of light. The temperature matters more, but being able to do strong hues is really nice. Not everyone is into mood lighting, but I like it.

And I don't care as much about whether or not the bulb uses IP to reach my phone, but why should my outside connection going down ever matter? As long as the router has power, the internal network should continue to function. It's a shame is what it is. I figure I could put in the sweat to make it "work on my machine" but that doesn't solve Joe Normal's problem, and it doesn't sound like a fun hobby to me either.
