GE sells LED bulbs that come with a remote, nothing smart about them, I can dim them or turn them off entirely with the remote that lives on my bedside table.
Hard mode: just sleep with the lights on.
My new monitor has a flashing light when the pc is off… Last night I got few up and put black nail polish over the LED. Fuck off light
This is the only reason I have smart home appliances
Home Assistant with smart bulb and a voice preview. Stay warm and cosy.
And that’s why mine are on their own VLAN with their own SSID. My TV and my phone are still spying on me though.
Here is a link to the tool that video uses. This isn’t a case of someone compromising an existing smart bulb to do sketchy things, but rather someone installing this bulb covertly in your house and using it for penetration testing. the same could be accomplished by an arduino in the bushes or a guy with a white van out front.
Also most smart bulbs use zigbee or zwave not wifi. The hub could be hacked i guess, but I have mine setup to only be accessible on the local network.
Do you guys not have light switches next to your bed?
