The thing is that it is a lot easier and a lot safer to buy some ESP32 boards, flash them with WLED, plug into 5V/12V/24V box, hide all of that in a 3D printed enclosure and call it a day than to rebuild the bloody walls (: And you won't be breaking any regulations and every sparky will be fine with that.
Running all your house with two wiring systems is dumb AF that's why no one will ever do that for you. That's my point.
Musk is not getting billions worth salary. You can't hire 500,000 people using his package. Unless you believe that these workers should be eating shares instead of food.
Electricians don't want to touch DC circuits because it is illegal to mix low voltage DC and high voltage AC circuits. At least it's illegal in Europe. You need to rebuild your walls to ensure separate and independent wiring channels. And that's a very expensive nightmare.
LEDs themselves don't get dimmer and don't fail. Their drivers fail and run LEDs at higher voltages so then LEDs burn out. If the LED is driven correctly, it won't dim over time and will last pretty much forever in terms of human lifescales.
It's not up to a newspaper to declare any person as a criminal. "Alleged" is the only word they can use legally. And if we allow them to label people as criminals, all the hell will break lose.
You couldn't buy anything in retail because of scalpers. British shops decided to stop scalpers, so would only sell to existing customers who bought Pis before shortages. So, for example, I had no issues getting 3 more Pis. But if you would make a brand new account you'd see them out of stock permanently. This system worked like a charm! But they should've done it earlier.
