Electricians are not really pulling cable to put your switches in convenient locations anymore. They’ll place a smart switch wherever requires least effort, and then give you a remote panel for it wherever you like. The remote panel looks like a normal switch but actually sticks onto intact drywall, no cutting required. Not quite “IOT” but the bridge between that low power network and the internet is a natural add on.
