Upgrade your yard lighting to LED the smart way

One of the last dumb things in your smart home might be your outdoor lighting. If you want a smart outdoor lighting system for your garden, you could cobble together an array of smart home lighting products from various makers or use products from one brand, such as the Philips Hue outdoor line. But I recommend a different route: Upgrade the bulbs in your current outdoor fixtures to LED and use an outdoor plug adapter to make your garden lights part of your home control tech. You won't get all the bells and whistles possible, but if you can live without nightclub color scenes or speakers built into lights, you'll like the results of my cheap and straightforward upgrade.
