wanna see a work of art? this is an actual tutorial on how to reset your GE smart lightbulb: https://youtu.be/1BB6wj6RyKo
@noiob people are laughing at this (with good reason) but I think it's kinda clever they figured out some way you could send a bit stream to a light bulb
@Alyx you can send a lot of bits to this lightbulb, it has WiFi
@noiob what if the transceiver ain't working
@Alyx idk most devices I have just have a button for reset… and even if you argue that that might not be safe or practical in this case turning it on and off six times isn't either. There's a lot of easier patterns that one won't hit accidentally either
@Alyx because it has to be powered while you push the button and that doesn't seem very safe to me, especially since the button has to be near the base (which also doesn't seem very convenient)
