To this day I am baffled by the smart
lighbulbs. So you take a LED light, strap a bulky AC/DC convertor to it, then also glue in a WiFi module,
and also some microcontroller for managing all that stuff. Then you cram all that into E27 fitting and have problems with heat dissipation if your LED is actually about as bright as an old 100W lamp was: the capacitors give out after a couple of months of work so you have to buy a new lightbulb (and those things ain't cheap because of all of that additional stuff it has inside it).
Obviously, a sane way to do things would be to have a single microcontroller/WiFi module mounted near/inside any of traditional manual light switches, have a single AC/DC convertor near your circuit breaker box, and have it power the whole lighting wiring (from which the microcontroller would draw too) with 9V DC, and now the LEDs inside the lightbulbs will have enough space to cool properly even with size-reduced fittings.
But where is money in doing things the sensible way, right?
