Ugh, no not at all. I'd rather instinctively reach a light-switch than reach for my tablet, click the power-button, wait 0.4 seconds for it to turn on, enter my pincode, wait 0.5 seconds before it's usable, open the control app, which takes 3-10 seconds to then navigate to the proper option and tap it.... For the same result.
