Zero details bullshit article. How would it reduce the cost by 50% considering you’d need a smart relay board with connectivity and then wire all the light fixtures to them OR have separate wireless relay boards at every light fixture OR have smart bulbs and a gateway.
Seems like a solution to add light switches for people who have homes that weren't wired properly with switches for their lights.
For those of us with proper wiring, this probably falls under "ain't broke, don't fix it"
Living in a 150 year old house without proper wiring, this would be an immense improvement.
