Scheduling my thermostat, smart outlets, and sprinklers works much better via a computer. Dial lamp timers suck, and programming a complex schedule via four push buttons and an eight-segment display is miserable. (I would not mind using bluetooth instead of wifi, but wifi is more widely used) Network monitoring allows my solar array to be remotely monitored for faults & diagnosed. Network access allows my sprinkler controller to track the weather for more accurate water usage modeling... Ordinary light switches and light bulbs are great. But some things stand to benefit from smarts.
