There are good arguments justifying the acquisition of smart lamps but, of course, there are also negative points to consider. In order to help you make the most informed decision possible, the bGR site pointed out the three great reasons for not installing smart lamps in your home, arguing that not everything has to have an Internet connection and have more functionality than the most basic ones.
You can get to know below the negative 3 points of the smart lamps.
The 3 reasons for not buying smart lamps:
- They are significantly more expensive than traditional lamps;
- The reliability depends on the Internet connection and, in blackout situations, may continue to present difficulties after the return of electricity;
- The fact that you connect to the Internet means that smart bulbs can become an entry point into your home network, thus becoming a security risk.
