Okay. What’s a smart bulb?

You can communicate by WiFi with it to turn it on and off and dim it, is my guess. Seems like overkill.

Sounds like a lightbulb for insufferable people who like to brag about their lightbulbs ... along with everything else.

But you can put a speaker inside that lightbulb and listen to music in your kitchen (via the light fixture) from your streaming computer in a nearby room.

Of course it isn’t a stretch to make such data transfer 2-way and include a microphone (and or cam) inside that “smart” bulb.

Be seeing you.
