Not necessarily. You’ll need a phone/iPad to set it up but that’s all. Hue bulbs for instance can be set at certain levels after a power outage. So if you don’t have a phone, you can turn on the lights simply by flicking the switch off and then back on. You can also set them all up to work through a voice assistant so once it’s set up, all you need is your voice. You can also get external buttons and place them around the house. They can be programmed to turn bulbs on and off or set to certain scenes.
Like Barnes said though, it’s a pita if someone flicks the switch off. Then you’ll need to get up and flick it back on.
