I remember my parents got some Philips lightbulbs years ago, I set it up for them. They never used any of the functionality after the first month. They were just normal white lightbulbs.

Realistically, most of this stuff is just an excuse to harvest people’s data and up charge them for appliances.

It’s fine for hobbyists who can set up all this stuff properly and make use cases, but the vast vast majority of people who have this stuff aren’t hobbyists and will never actually find utility in it.
