The remote control kind. Limited, but no Chang in your thangs.
you're right, but what about wifi bulbs? i don't really have a decent place to put a remote
How about your coffee table. Or a kitchen counter top. Or a drawer.
my room doesn't have space for a table next to my bed
i'm not that schizo i just want the least pozzed option
sure they are...............
not sure wtf those are but i'll look it up thx
i wish i could get wi-fu bulbs. that project my waifu of choice into my room
>>i'm not that schizo i just want the least pozzed option
there is no way to get a "smart bulb" that is not pozzed. Being pozzed is quite literally the one and only reason the product was designed and built in the first place.
see
you can replace the firmware on many of them, and run your own server with something like HomeAssistant, there is no need to even connect them to the internet
>i just want the least pozzed option
Black person they're fricking lightbulbs
IKEA's smart bulbs are the easiest to get and justwerk. They use ZigBee, which is an open radio protocol in the range of, but a lot dumber than, WiFi. No internet connection. You can buy their gateway (which does have internet) and link it to Home Assistant or buy your favourite Chinashit ZigBee router (which may or may not have internet) to do the same thing.
>not sure wtf those are but i'll look it up thx
Basically Zigbee and Z-Wave are two different protocols that don't use Wi-Fi for Smart Devices, nor connect to any APIs outside of your network (if you choose to) to control said devices, and communicates by talking with any other device that also uses Zigbee or Z-Wave forming a mesh network.
You can control them using a proprietary hub, or create your own HomeAssistant server and buy a Zigbee or Z-Wave USB device and attach it to said server.
HomeAssistant is a massive learning curve though but it's worth it if you want to get HEAVY into Smart Home stuff. You can control stuff, setup routines, do automation based on specific triggers, etc with it. If that doesn't seem worth it to you then you can get another IoT software. There's plenty, in fact someone already posted one ITT.
HomeAssistant and other similar software can control specific Wi-Fi devices also if you don't want to buy Z-Wave/Zigbee devices without ever going outside your network. Which is great when the proprietary app and their service goes down due to an outage or bug and you can't turn on/off your lights, or worse they end the service completely and they don't care if it's a paperweight to you now. Doesn't matter because you locally control the devices with said software.
the chinamen are already in your network
Bro you go on the internet, they're already in
please no... tell me they aren't in my network... how do i get the bugmen out? i already sprayed pesticides. what more do i need?
if you want to make sure, don't buy "smart" anything. Get plain old regular light bulbs with no wi-fi in them.
i use xiaomi smart bulbs.
they're very safe, anon.
literally any that's compatible with homeassistant
This
and if you don't want Wi-Fi Bulbs use Zigbee or Z-Wave Bulbs instead
The only real way to be sure is to run old school timer from the plug, light switch or like a dusk to dawn adapter. I personally just accepted the BS of WiFI bulbs being they are just so damn convenient to use.
Set porch light to go on and off at a set time. Turn it green as my super lazy xmas decoration etc etc. I can't go back.
>wi-fu bulbs
man made horrors beyond comprehension

here you go, op, a list of bulbs supported by tasmota, a foss iot device firmware
oh thank you, i didn't know this shit existed. i'll look into it
didn't realize you could manually flash the firmware on them, that sounds perfect thx
my current router situation is shit so i don't have much control
yea but the bugmen make them and they'll do anything to spy on my anime picture downloading
i have no ikeas near me and their shipping options make me baby rage but i'll check it out
>yea but the bugmen make them and they'll do anything to spy on my anime picture downloading
>I'm not that schizo
it's an objective fact that they want my anime pictures, that's not me being schizo
i'm not a zoomer i hate these fricking things i just want to experiment with different color temps to find one i find comfy
just pick one that can work with local network only and then block them from connecting to the rest of the internet.
>wifi bulbs
lmao can't wait for the day when zoomers have thier lights hacked and they no longer can turn them on.
>hue hue hue hue

A regular fricking lightbulb you troon.
i didn't ask for the gamer colors ones friend, i am no troon.
You can also get zigbee/z-wave smart plugs or light switches/dimmer switches if you want to go that route and keep whatever bulbs you already like
looking for it mostly in order to get customizable temperatures of whites or whatever it's called
i really appreciate the info, thank you for your time friend
Seems like it would be pretty easy to make your own smart switch and not have to worry about it.
who would change the colour of their light bulb all the time? i think most people bought smart bulbs for novelty and they change the colour a few time and left it as is
should have got a smart switch or something
Alright c**t, I'll give you a secret
ZIGBEE
Instead of using the propietary hub, which does connect to the internet, just set up a homeserver (raspberry pi or old laptop shoved into an empty drawer), buy a zigbee usb stick, and set up a homeassistant instance. There you have it, a fully smart-home with none of the spying
