I&#x27;ve started down that road with Philips Hue lights.  Admittedly expensive, but nice and I can build up the system over time.  They&#x27;re Zigbee and Philips are very very open with them.  Incidentally they do the best warm-white I&#x27;ve ever seen in an LED bulb, which is nice.<p>I&#x27;m actually looking at one of the Hue Tap switches now; they&#x27;re a battery-less switch (kinetic power) with three buttons (I think) that you can customize.  So I can, for example, put one in my bedroom and have a button on it that turns all the lights off in the house for when I&#x27;m about to go to sleep, etc.  No need to run cables through walls and have switches where you want.
