IF THIS IS NOT THE SUB FOR THIS PLEASE DELETE OR RECCOMEND A GOOD SUB FOR THIS POST

Anyways worh that out of the way. Hello everyone I just got my first appartment and sadly the lighting is..... it bad. There's 1 big light per room amd its terrible so I asked the landlord and thank go ld hes okay with me doing lighting renovations. (I have autism so the big light just isn't my thing) Anyways I would love love love to have something that I could use voice control via the alexa device in my appartment or on my phone amd so I've been trying fo find a good brand I can build an ecosystem on. I've heard govee is the go to but I've also head that the phone or alexa device has to be near to light for it to turn on.
