I have a button on my keyboard (F16) that turns on every smart light in my apartment. I also have a button on my keyboard (F17) that turns on the two lights in my "bedroom" in red colour and then fades them out in five minutes. This allows me to still see around when I turn off the monitor, but doesn't require me to go hit the light switches in the bedroom before and after.

Ok, but let's talk about your keyboard. Why does it have so many function keys?
It's just a standard full-sized Apple keyboard. Nineteen (19) function keys. And since the small Apple keyboards only have twelve (12) function keys, you can use them pretty freely to bind your own stuff.
