Smart light fixtures as an always-powered AI sensor platform for the home
K-enthusiast24 · reddit · 2026-09-25
A Reddit user proposes turning smart light fixtures into a home AI sensor platform: bulbs already have continuous power, sit high with good room views, and exist in multiple locations for varied camera angles. A shared visual feed could let developers build apps on top — e.g., monitoring kitchen inventory — with the hardware generic rather than tied to predetermined uses. The post invites discussion of problems and better use cases, with privacy among the concerns raised.
