MODERATORS
If you don't mind "dumbing down," the bulbs with an infrared or RF remote don't require any apps. I prefer those for that reason
definitely would agree. the less things connected to the internet the better. same goes with using a timer unit in a heater instead of an app
IME those can be unreliable though, and they're barely cheaper than Zigbee bulbs
Eh you get what you pay for. I have a "kamija" branded one that I use on my nightstand daily for about 5 years now. Has an aluminum base and weighs a ton. Looks like they didn't survive covid though, RIP
