Really, beyond very limited use cases, I don't see the appeal of smart bulbs. With a smart switch, you can at least turn it on and off at the wall like a normal switch. With a smart bulb, are people seriously whipping out their phone or using voice commands just to turn on/off a light every time? I know you can get hardware remotes, but even then you need to either hope no one turns off the hardwired switch or you have to integrate the remote to cover up the existing switch.
you can turn them all on or off at once, change colours, what ever you want, I have 4 in my kids room set up on one grouping, he loves them
