I'm incredibly resistant to adding complexity to my home unnecessarily (I debug stuff at work all day, can't be bothered at home), but I am slowly adding things because they are useful.
Mostly they're smart because they save on wiring. For a while I've had all of my living room lighting (ceiling, as well as standard lamps and a table lamp) all Hue so they get turned on and off together. Standalone and useful. I've been experimenting with HA running on a Pi because I want to do a slightly complicated combination of PIR and timing for some outside security lights and it'll be trivial with HA.
