Hallway lights that turn on and off automatically when you go in there (and are dim at night) are great.

Our work has them in the office. I have never begrudged turning on lights at home. Maybe I'd love it if I got it? Who knows.

You can do that with a cheapass sensor light arrangement though.
None of this stuff needs wifi and god help anyone without VB's networking nous setting this stuff up with a bunch of admin / admin devices scattered around the public internet. :D

It's nice to see clever people doing clever things with tech in their lives, but none of these use cases seem particularly life-enriching to me. I never resent turning lights on/off or pressing start on a dishwasher. Presumably you can set lights to come off/on at particular times which is a good security benefit and does away with the old plug socket timer i have in my hallway...
