You should do an update on this. The system has had a few (firmware) upgrades since this video was released, and is actually a pretty decent alternative to the more complicated (expensive) smart light systems. The "buffering" is probably due to the fact that it uses the ZigBee protocol, wich is pretty slow/high latency (actually the same protocol as that big brand that everyone else uses).

Here is the first one of the three extra vowels in Swedish (they come in the end of the alphabet by the way, in this order: å, ä, ö). The challenge is to really distinguish them as separate vowels, and not just muddled versions of A and O. The Å can be thought of as the ‘au’ sound in (British accent) ‘Paul’. Indeed, some Swedish Pauls actually spell their names Pål. The sound is long, as in a long ‘Pååål’, or ‘poor’. and you say "fri" as "free"

Gary, you can connect one remote to several devices and you can also use several remotes to control one light, but for that you need to use an app called Hue Essentials. This app also allows you to use Tasker to automate your lights. If you have any questions let me know, I'd be happy to help. You can also go to r/tradfri and learn a lot there.

With Eufy lightbulbs you do NOT need a hub, nor do you need a remote control. You merely use your smartphone...and you can connect to Google Assistant. Also...VERY affordable. the "tunable" form has the brightness level, as well as the temperature/color control and you can schedule it, operate with your voice, etc. If you're using Android, just install an app and connect it to the Google Home...from there you can even use your Chromebox to operate the bulbs. No hubs, no remotes and only about $15 US
