I was about to reply that I don't use automation, but realized that I actually do: (1) washing machine (2) running water; on-tap, on-demand (3) gas furnace. Beyond those things, the usefulness-complexity ratio diminishes. I don't have voice-activated anything. My plants are watered by me, by hand. I do the dishes by hand. I turn on lamps with my hand. It's not worthwhile for me to automate these kinds of simple tasks.
