I have pot lights around my home controlled by a WiFi signal. I did have a problem for some unknown reason where after working perfectly for several weeks, they would only work manually.

Today my neighbour (electrical contractor) fixed them. I have a question he wasn't sure about and that is if my computer was completely disconnected, would that require that the lighting be reset?

Naturally I don't want to find out (perhaps the hard way) by unplugging my computer. Anyone know for sure?

Last week I reconfigured my Wi-Fi network and had to have my computer (or iPhone, iPad, AirPod, AirPod mini, or Apple TV) powered up and running in order to relink, reset, or re-configure any one or all of my so-called lifestyle devices (lights, switches, thermostats, video cameras, thermostats, etc). Without knowing the specifics of your devices, their configuration, and network type I can only speculate, but I am a bit surprised that your neighbor didn't need to have your computer, or another device running in order to restore your lights to full functionality. Even though you control them via Wi-Fi, is it possible they use a zigbee or similar connection through your home's wiring?

If your computer is critical for controlling your WiFi-connected pot lights, unplugging it could disrupt the system and require a reset. That kind of setup isn’t very practical since it depends so much on your network. A better option for reliability and style is adding some floor lamps for living room, Sunmory has great options with solid quality and sleek designs.
