      It shouldn’t be. Usual smart bulbs let you use the light switch. Unless you somehow removed the analog switch, though, maybe?

        But the switch needs to be in the on position all the time for the smart bulb to work. I’m pretty sure I tried turning them on like normal bulbs at my sister’s and it did not work. You need to do the “Alexa turn on x”

          That’s correct, although I do like that my IKEA ones have programmable remote switches. I don’t tend to use them anyway, but my whole thinking is to Home Assistant them whenever I have time. The real dream, though, is have my house setup up detect exact location so they can fade in and out as I approach like a freaking video game, though, which is apparently possible.

          But no, I just flip a switch like a person who doesn’t have time for this lol

        I mean they might need to log in to reconfigure their settings, not just turn them on and off. It’s the meme made after the fact that assumes he doesn’t have a switch lol
