I've been using Indigo with a variety of Insteon and Hue devices for a number of years, and I'm still running into a Wife Approval Factor (WAF) problem:
The fam (wife and teenager) are fine with smart wall switches. They turn on and off on a schedule, but more importantly, they can turn them on and off manually by flipping the switch.
However, we also have lamps in the house. One of my goals is not to have huge electric bills, and folks leave the lights on, so I have used a variety of smart bulbs and lamp controllers (e.g. Insteon LampLincs) for these.
Invariably, if they see that a lamp is on (perhaps the foyer lamp at 25% for ambience from sunset to bedtime), they will randomly turn it off - or not. Thus, the ambience scene no longer works because the lamp has been turned off manually.
Similarly, if they want a lamp turned on, they will flip the switch, and sometimes (a) it must be flipped on/off a couple times, or (b) it just doesn't turn on (not sure why, perhaps they are older lamplincs?) In any case, anything other than a simple "flip the switch once and it should turn on if it's currently off" brings a very negative WAF.
Do any of the rest of you have these two issues? Any technological ways to ensure that the smart house works in a standard way for the non-smart-house-enabled residents?
