Wireless switches are surely gonna take off in the next few years. So much more convenient to install.

This is true, the Hue lamps are not cheap though with built in programming, I had one in the front room, it was flashing and wouldn’t settle down even with the Philips app on my phone.. probably my lack of tech understanding.
Also the domestic market is flooded with E27 led filament lamps, prices have fallen significantly I think.

Yes, but you can get physical switches as well which is what we mainly use. I'm too old to unlearn reaching for a light switch. (Actually I want voice control but my husband won't have such things in the house). Use the app for initial setup, set colours etc and then the switches for day to day stuff.
We use these:
You've got on, off, dim and brighten, and pressing the on button multiple times gives you up to 6 (I think) presets that you set up from the app. In our living/dining room we have the two main lights and all the side lighting on Hue, and the switch is set up for all on with a warm light, sidelights only on with a warm light, living area light only, dining area light only, and all lights super bright blue daylight for when I drop a needle or something.
