I'm literally unscrewing lightbulbs to renew their DHCP lease

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.

@db@social.lol yeaaaah, good that there are other standards for home automation like zigbee and thread

@db please tell me this is a joke. Please tell me that so I can sleep at night

@db zigbee bulbs work better and are more energy efficient

@SebastianSolidwork @ralph @db

AND, OR, XOR… too many options.

@db@social.lol I'm sure you already know this, but some GE lamps had an amazing method to perform a factory reset (I think it's been patched in newer firmware, or at least in newer bulbs): https://youtu.be/NiPH9jrWh9g

@Amgine @ralph @db I know this problem! ️
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.
