I was going to go on a rant about how smart isn't useful unless it's easier than not-smart - my lights are either on a motion sensor, timer or based on device usage so we never actually need to do anything with them. The bedroom, bathroom and kitchen are on manual switches. Then I looked at the kettle... I have a temperature controlled kettle, it has three buttons and does everything theirs does with an app. Plus it's 2.4kW and holds 1.7L so is better than theirs all around!
