Just came across this Kickstarter project.

Nice idea and looks like they'll be offering an API so integration with existing domotica systems seem to be an option...

Re: LIFX: The Light Bulb Reinvented
Reinvented again
LIFX looks much the same like this one:

(I must confess I didn't have a look @ the details, but the concept looks pretty much the same to me)

Here's the bluetooth version. Same confession here: /me didn't look at the gory details
Re: LIFX: The Light Bulb Reinvented
Funny... JUST read about it and wanted to share it on this forum.... Not needed!
I'm going to order one or more.. The possibilities are great:
- Special color sequences if it starts raining and a window is open
- etc.etc.
We do have to wait for a while though with the first deliveries expected on March 2013 ;-(
Still, there's endless possibilities for Home Automation!
About the Insteon product: CHEAP but it looks like it will only work with the Insteon SmartLinc Hub. No Wifi, no colors.
I have no experience with Insteon products at all. Can you buy SmartLinc Hub's in the Netherlands? Does it use Z-wave, Zigbee or some proprietary RF protocol?

I guess you'll need a Smartlinc; protocol can be found on their website IIRC.DJF3 wrote: About the Insteon product: CHEAP but it looks like it will only work with the Insteon SmartLinc Hub. No Wifi, no colors.

BTW there are signs that Insteon is coming to the EU:
