How much time or effort is this actually saving you? Maybe its just me, but id say i spend maybe a few minutes doing these tasks every year. A lot of this is achievable without smart technology anyways
- xvector 6y agoOriginally I thought the same as you, but when I tried it, I noticed that it actually saves way more time than I expected. I think we simply don’t notice the amount of time spent on the little, meaningless things. For me, once things were connected it kind of felt like I had aliased a commonly-used command. You could also argue that the saved time was already spent in researching which smart home appliances to get (bad ones can be a flaky nightmare), which is a fair argument. For me, though, the increased convenience in actual day to day use was well worth it.
- AshWolfy 6y agoMaybe you overestimate the amount of time you save? Ive definitely noticed that when i get a something thats a time saver, i tend to overestimate how much time it saved, maybe its more that mental load of not having to worry about it.

And it will sure not work 100% exactly as expected, causing frustration.
