What's this?

I have a variety of Phillips Hue Smart Lights, that are compatible with

Alexa. The Hue app allows me to set various timers and routines for when I'm home and away. I can also monitor what the lights are doing when I'm away from home as well, or turn on the lights when I pull up to the house, etc.

The smart lights are Alexa compatible, so I can use voice commands with Alexa to turn lights on and off, dim them, etc.

I highly recommend the Phillips Hue lights. Watch for sales on Amazon.

You can get a smart switch that's compatible. ** -- hoosnowahokie 02/14/2018 10:10AM

This would be the way to... turn it on via digital or analog. :-) ** -- HokieSignGuy 02/14/2018 10:33AM

It depends on the brand. Some require a separate hub (like Philips Hue) -- AbsolutVT03 02/14/2018 10:03AM

I’m not a fan. -- vthokieq 02/14/2018 10:47AM

Also very pricey compared to some other brands that don't need hubs. ** -- AbsolutVT03 02/14/2018 10:56AM

Agreed, but then I don't believe those bulbs allow you to do other things -- BayHokie 02/14/2018 2:05PM

Get the wall switches. Use normal bulbs ** -- MEHOKIE 02/14/2018 09:54AM

Agreed. Easy to install. Use them constantly in the main living area. ** -- riosvt 02/14/2018 09:59AM
