I live in a studio with 8 lights, 2 over my desk, 4 over my living room, 2 over my bed (how I setup the place). The two light switches are wired to 4 and 4. Alexa + light control lets me group them into desk, living room, common area (desk + living room), bedroom, all lights. It's more convenient than light switches which give me absolutes of all on or too many on depending on what I'm doing. The alternative is to rewire the place, which I do not own.
