To me, (home) automation is not (only) about saving a total amount of time. It's about saving time at the right moment. When I have lots of free time, I will happily spend it refining my home automations. It's a fun hobby and simple programming with things that you can actually see and touch. But when I just got home from a stressful day at work and have to hurry to some other appointment, saving a few seconds here and there can actually be very valuable. As long as all your "smart" stuff can't access the internet it's great.
