Sucks. One of my distributors is selling them at about $30 a piece for the full colors and cheaper if I do a bulk order on Leviton switches. But I need to check into if the switches work well with my stuff

Btw I read on Slickdeals if you buy from the Home Depot pro desk they offer increasing discounts for Lutron switches that start to push the price down to what you can sometimes find on eBay. FYI

Discount increases at $250, $500, and $1,000 price levels.

I was reading the bathroom fan thread and thought of my smart switches. Mine seems to lose connection and I've replaced it a couple of times. Is there something about being on a motor that would damage a regular smart switch?

GE smart toggle on a wink hub. I've got the lights and fan grouped together as master bath in alexa. After a while the fan switch will go off line in the wink app and will only turn on manually. I am able to flip the breaker for and get the connection re-established for a while. I've replaced it and the new one does the same thing. May be dumb luck.

So only Best Buy is it? - and only 3 bulbs instead of four and just about $30 cheaper?

What about smart light switches?

hue lightbulbs definitely have a limited lifespan. I forget the exact numbers but they degrade over time if these are used bulbs.
