How do I stop a smart light switching on after an overnight software update?
Our answer
Set the bulb’s power-on state to OFF and remove firmware update routines that restore the prior on-state.
Why this approach makes sense
Device software, permissions and connected services change how a feature behaves; use settings for the actual model rather than a generic workaround.
Before you try it
Verify the relevant device and account permissions, and make changes one at a time.
