• Yeah you've nailed it. I want to be able to turn it on manually without having to get my phone out, when the schedule is for 'off'

    @aggi Yeah I did see the Beyond one, but at £250 was a bit much. As you and @Ramsaye say seems the best option is Bulb + remote.

    I am very tempted by smart lighting, auto quick dimming in the evening would be brilliant. All our ceiling lights are chandeliers though (no queen of Versailles) so just lamps for now!

    Thank you everyone!

    You do realise that flicking the switch twice will turn it on? It's just a bit annoying.

    (You can set the bulb to illuminate when it receives power on after power off, well you can with Hue at least, it's the default setting)

  • But if it's turned off then you lose all the smart functionality (scheduling, turning on remotely, voice control, etc)

  • No I didn't realise that. I don't have any smart gear

    Still have the problem of turning it off again. Turn off at switch, bye-bye scheduling, right?

    lol 'aaaah light'
