    I have one WiFi bulb in my house near the entrance to my office. I turn it red to let my housemates know I have a meeting without leaving my chair.

    This is about the only reason I could see for a WiFi light bulb. I could wire something but that’s a lot more work.

      Do you manually set the light bulb to red or do you have some kind of automation?

      I tried to set up an automation with home assistant, because I use it for everything anyway.

      But getting the information “You’re in a call” from microsoft is impossible, if you can’t create an “app” in order to get an api key, if the company sysadmin doesn’t want you to have it.

      It is more work, but imagine how cool you would feel with a big red button on your desk that you hit to turn the light on!
