A common frustration with smart bulbs is that turning the wall switch off cuts their power. The light then disappears from your phone and from your automations, people learn to avoid the switch, and guests never know the rule. This is a design problem, not a limit of smart lighting.

Vaety. solves it by choosing the control point first. For fixed lights we fit smart switches, so the physical switch stays the main control and the circuit always keeps its power. Where we use smart bulbs, such as in a lamp, we place a wireless smart button where people expect to find a switch. Anyone can walk in, press it and get light, while the automations carry on in the background.

This is also why we study how each space is used before choosing devices. A bedroom, a staircase and a living room each need a different answer.
