I'm in a roll with Philips Hue deals. Another 40% off deal for the White and Colour Ambiance E27 bulb. Don't know if it includes the B22. £20 off RRP is a good deal for these.
That's because you can only see things properly after you've bought these magic bulbs

I was at an internet-of-things security seminar a while back, and heard about someone who, after a vulnerability had been identified and patched, had to spend four hours updating the firmware in his lightbulbs....
Not voting either way on this one.

What a ridiculous statement.

I have have the echo but im going to wait until the prices of these smart bulbs and other tech drops

It certainly raised a laugh. The speaker wasn't knocking net-enabled products, but he was making a serious point, viz., that very often security is the last thing appliance designers think about, and it's not always a strong asset in their skill set.

I understand the nuances of the statement. Printers are another similar item that have been stated as not being thought of as being well secured but that wouldn't be a reason for not voting on a printer thread.
If you were that bothered you could quite easily segregate the lights away from your home network, meaning that the worst an attacker could do is turn your lights off, and as they utilise zigbee, they would have to be very close.

That's a good point, centaurdrew, and well made. Voting hot now.

deeky to AdrianK_

It's not a stunning deal but Amazon De have them for €39.95 Deal of the Day.

so about £3.67 more expensive compared to this deal? would probably be useful for those who miss this deal.

19 Dec 16#26
And the deal is over, 54 seconds it lasted on my count! Or is it because you can buy only one item?

Smart switches are the way to go as you want to still be able to use the wall switch too. With these if you turn it off at the wall switch you can't use your phone to turn them on

Or via an Echo dot. Set centrally in the house we can control all our lights very easily and without hunting for the phone.
