With the growing number of "Smartbulbs" appearing almost daily, it seems like there should be area or topic just for these bulbs.
First there was the Philips Hue http://meethue.com/
And then the LIFX http://lifx.co/
And the Lumen http://www.amazon.com/Lumen-Enabled-Smart-Bulb-Versifli/dp/B00GXT2K8M
on Friday's Sharktank show, Mark Cuban invested a sizable amount in a company called iLumi http://www.ilumi.co (I really liked the part where they said they "invented" the bulb. SURE they did.
And there are even controllers for these bulbs in the works https://getgoldee.com/
We are quickly approaching the day where to automate lights you just use "smartbulbs" and wall switches just control these bulbs. I have yet to see a wall switch smartbulb controller, but they have to be in the works.
