they are within network range of each other. This means that a nearby light bulb can receive your remote control
command and pass that command across the network of connected light bulbs, ultimately to a light bulb you
want to control in a distant room. Because of this effect, larger homes would make better use of having more
network light bulbs spread across the home, maintaining a distance that allows each light bulb to communicate
with one another.
Maximum Number of Light Bulbs
You can install up to 40 light bulbs on the same network to work with your remote control.
