Turning on and off all the lights. Light switches are obsolete in my house.
When I need to take a piss and it's pitch black I don't fumble for the switch when I get out of bed. I just tell alexa to turn on the lights.
- henrikschroder 2y agoOk, cool, but would you pay a monthly subscription fee for the ability to talk out loud to get lights to turn on, instead of hitting the existing light switches? Because that's what they're asking.
- ninetyninenine 2y agoHeck no. Just saying that it's uses aren't frivolous. I would pay a one time fee for it though. Like buying a product.
- aeonik 2y agoThis works just until other people start sleeping in the same room, or if the Internet drops out.
- jemmyw 2y agoMotion detector night lights. I've got a bunch of them. Softer light, no need to make a noise and wake anyone else up. One in the loo, one outside my room, one on the fridge, several down the hallway. They're on magnetic stickies so you can grab one if you need to go further. They do need charging but not very often.
- pnathan 2y agoYeah, I missed that bit. I use the Philips Hue system, and it works super reliably. But the Amazon integration is... getting iffier with that. No idea why. But yeah, voice controlled lights are nice.
