I’ve got hués through the whole house. Primary use cases are:
- Being able to trigger dimming of the lights in the house as sunset approaches.
- Being able close all the lights in the house in one go (such as when leaving).
- dimming lights when I don’t have dimmers wired in.
- being able to adjust colour temperature of the lights (and full colours, I tend to use a mix of oranges, pinks, and purples).
- turning off lamps that are not otherwise on the same circuit as the ceiling when I flick a switch.
Things like dimming and controlling lights on the same circuit could be done with electrical work, but I’m renting. The bulbs come with me wherever I move. The electrical work doesn’t. I already was bringing my own lightbulbs wherever I moved anyways (to save electricity).
Lights turn on and off automatically, I rarely have to do anything and they are how I want them when I want them / and don’t turn on when I’m
Not at home and turn on when I arrive home. Turning on in the morning during winter helps a ton and when I do need a light on/off on demand it’s a voice command or the tap of a wireless battery less switch
