Fills some nice gaps. We have a couple of smart bulbs (not Hue) in places like over the kitchen sink that we never use, but we like to automate as a nightlight. Smart bulbs also come in handy if you want to separate certain fixtures from the pack, like when you have a bunch of lights controlled by one switch, but you want the one at the end of the hall to do it's own thing.

But the thing with smart bulbs is always the issue of the light switch, which has to stay in the on position. Most of the bulb makers now have control devices that sit next to or, better yet, ON TOP OF, the switch, locking it into the on position so the virtual switch controls the bulb.

Makes no tech sense or economic sense to use these things for whole-house lighting control. Nice to have in your back pocket though.
