Need some help with deciding which system I should use for Smart Lights.
- I have used Sengled in the past and Lights were great, only issue that I have been having is that Sengled Hub will go offline, and I would simply not be able to turn the lights via App. Only way to fix it was to completely reinstall and re-connect everything. I even tried with the smart plug where I would turn off and then on the Hub daily but that did not work out. I have tried 2 different Hubs and still was getting the same issue.
- So I have decided to switch to Philips. One of the issues that I am having with the Philips is that Light will not remember Brightness Level once I turn it off/on with the Light Switch. There is a option (Settings->Light>Power On) where you can go and Select "Last On" "Power Loss Recovery" and "Custom" but even with them selected I have lights which are just going back to 100%. Its not every single time but at least once per day so far, I would turn the switch on and the light would go back to 100% brightness.
- So I have decided to go and get Lutron Hub and Smart Switch
- Even with the Lutron Smart Switch (Natural Wire Connected) with the Lutron Hub, sometimes Light goes back to 100% .
So I have two questions:
- Should this be the case?
- Is there a system that actually works, where if I set the Brightens to 30% it would stay like that regardless how often I turn it on/off my switch. It can be combination of smart lights or switched I don't care as long as it works.
- I am looking for system that works and that I don't need to re-set every day.
