> I can't even imagine a scenario where I'd want a "smart home". You get hit by a truck on the way to work and you're not longer able bodied enough to do these

  Fair enough, but these things aren't marketed as assistive devices.

    I have smart lights in the bedroom. They come automatically as a light-alarm and it's fantastic. It would be hard to go back to waking up in the dark and turning on a massively bright light. It's also remote controlled at night so I can turn it off from bed. These are all useful features.

        I wake up before the sun comes up and go to bed long after it's gone down.

  It doesn't have to be "smart" or internet-connected to be remotely operable.
