AI6YR BenA friend of mine who has wired his living space to only use Internet connected lightbulbs told me he had to spend all night in the dark last night when his Internet went down. Yes, that made me laugh very loudly. #IoT #Oops #lightbulbs
J.R. Orci@ai6yr LoL. Usually you can just manually turn the lightswitch off, then back on for manual activation. But yeah, smart lights can be a pain. We have middle-of-the-night power outs here on occasion. And when power returns, ALL the smart lights turn on. Usually at 3am.
Edge@orci @ai6yr I made the mistake once of resetting my Hue hub (when I thought it was merely rebooting it.) It lost all of it's programming.
I spent 8 hours tracking down each light, figuring out the names and what rooms they were in, and re-establishing all of the routines/automations.
But... they're so convenient. 😂
@czarbucks @ai6yr Oh no! Oof. That's pain.
