    I would love that but my apartment is of historical value and we aren’t allowed to change or update anything 🥲

      Bummer. Can they stop you from buying a desk or floor lamp and installing a smart bulb?

        Is it that easy? Idk a lot about this stuff, but I’m not even allowed to hang pictures without written concent.

          Yep, it doesn’t take more than a few minutes to set one up. You don’t even need a central hub anymore, just wifi and a smartphone.

            Oh! I’ve actually tried this once! I had just forgotten xD

            Unfortunatly it didn’t work, our wifi iirc 2.5 and for the light we needed 5

              A WiFi extender that, properly configured, will re-broadcast your existing network and/or a separate 2.4GHz signal is about $25.

      wym “anything”? you can’t install new bulbs and just have to live in the darkness if they ever break?

      presumably there’s actually fair bit of things you can modify, especially since it doesn’t have to be even remotely permanent.
