Ngl, does that make you question if the memory or the physical sketch matters more?

Classic. So when you got back, did they just forget all their settings entirely, or was it more like they reverted to blinding default white at 3 AM? I'm wondering if it's a DHCP lease issue where your router reassigned IPs and the bulbs couldn't find home, or if the hub itself just gave up and purged its memory. That whole 'reassurance' thing Stella mentioned feels spot on, like your house throws a passive-aggressive fit until you manually reboot every single device. Makes me miss dumb bulbs that only forgot how to work when they burned out.

Growth has a funny way of shrinking past mountains.
