I meant AND, but wonder how true+false for OR and XOR would work.
At least for human. I guess it works for living beings from hydrothermal vents.

AND, OR, XOR… too many options.

I love my LifX bulbs, but, they're individually addressed. Any time I want to add a new AP or otherwise need to update SSIDs and/or passwords, I need to re-run setup on two-dozen+ lightbulbs. At least with my Hues, I really only need to configure the bridge and all the other lights just follow.

At least then, you could just take out that additional layer and deal with dumb lighting while you fix it.

If we want to do it in parallel, it’s probably O(N). In series it’s going to depend on deadline, budget, spacing between bulbs, and the prevailing overtime laws.

Sometimes I have to reset the power for it because just one of those two needs a DHCP renewal...and it's rarely the same one twice. Fortunately it still uses the old switch rather than a relay.

Most of the time I just use the remote that came with it.
