I much prefer smart switches over smart bulbs. Because smart switches always work with you flip them physically whether the network is down or not.

Also smart switches ensure that there is no mismatch between physical switch state and light bulb state.

Before I moved over to smart switches exclusively I had some Philips smart bulbs with wireless switches - it was the most unreliable and finicky setup I ever had.

The only smart thing in a light bulb should be it ability to change color.
