Whenever someone says voice control I think of the two Scots in an elevator skit from "Burnistoun" S1E1. It's a BBC Scotland show, but may be available through your favorite streaming services.
When I want to remotely control a light switch with my voice, I tell a kid to get up and flip it. It doesn't always work, but I at least know that they understand what I want. And it means that sometimes you have to be the one to flip the switch for someone else.
