Cheapest Hue A19 I find on Amazon is $15 a piece.
Nonetheless, a mix of plugs, switches, bulbs is likely to be required to get a solution customized for every individual.
I went the TP-Link solution (plugs and switches) for a couple of reasons:
- No separate hub required
- TP Link offered the right mix of products to automate what I wanted
- Only one App needed (Kasa) to control lights and simple appliances
What I would like (waiting for TP Link to develop it) is a smart wall switch with dimming control. I have a lighting fixture with apprx. 15 candelabra type bulbs.

Definitely a mix. I didn't know if I would need them but I'm so glad I picked up those $10 ihome smart plug adapters.
I'm using 4 at the moment.. One on my wink to power cycle the hub in case it ever crashes, one in my screened porch room controlling a lamp, one in the den and the other is a floater..I used it to kick on the humidifier in the 2yos room this winter at night on a schedule because I hate when i leave the thing on all day and it runs dry.
I love them. I live the flexibility over a hard-wired smart outlet and because they're wifi they still work in the wink app even if your hub is offline.
