Finally upgraded my living room lights—anyone else tried smart bulbs?

Maybe my house is just built weird—old plaster walls and who knows what inside them.

Plaster walls are the worst for this stuff. I swear, my 1950s place eats wireless signals for breakfast. I added a Zigbee plug in the kitchen and it helped, but then the signal tanked every time someone microwaved popcorn. Mesh networks sound great on paper, but in real life? It’s like playing hide and seek with your WiFi. Sometimes just moving the hub a foot or two makes a bigger difference than adding more repeaters.
