If you are looking at home automation it's worth always making sure you have a manual backup for what you are trying to do. E.g. I was going to put WiFi switches up in the ceiling behind the rose of some lights.
Having recently had connectivity problems, I realised that there may well be no manual way of putting the lights on if the WiFi failed. I will be trying it out sometime to see.
(I have LIFX bulbs on 4 lights (2 ceiling and 2 table lamps) but I am thinking of lights with multiple bulbs which would be expensive to deck out with WiFi bulbs at £45 a pop, or whatever they would be)
