I have to disagree with this one. I have Hue lights and I rarely ever use the app to turn them on or off. When I come home and it is after sunset the lights come on automatically based on geolocation. When I leave they turn off.
Also, I can walk downstairs and say "Alexa, turn on the living room lights" and my Amazon Echo turns them on. Same thing to turn them off again. That's extremely convenient...way, way more convenient than walking around and turning 4-5 lamps on and off.
They have come way down in price to the point to where you can either pay $20 for a smart bulb versus $10-12 for a standard LED.
Will be interesting to see what happens though...I do agree that life isn't just all about efficiency. But people certainly do enjoy convenience.
