  • WTF is wrong with normal lamps that you switch on at the wall switch?

    if you really feel you must control these things from your PC/phone and are too lazy to get up to the wall switch then there are smartswitches (although some of them can be equally insecure).

    if you want โ€œdisco lampsโ€ in a room of your house these have been widely available for 10 years and can be plugged in separately in the same way as table/desk lamps (usually the ceiling lampholder in most houses is only any good for strong white light otherwise you canโ€™t see properly in the dark anyway). You can control them with DMX protocol if you want remote control. Needs a few more cables and a bit of brainwork, but much more secure and robust.

    Putting an entire 2,4 GHz wifi stack into a lamp is daft for a large variety of reasons. Even worse is using this IOT stuff to control any strong appliance at 230/400V (heaters, industrial equipment etc) or critical building control systems.

    In FI this entire block ended up with heating shut down through a DDOS attack, and it is -7 there at the moment..
