Well, it is right-sized to run a hub controlling all that little devices.

But yeah, especially now with various ESP32 firmwares like ESPHome you can essentially just make a YAML with specification on where to listen and what bit to flip and get simple switch/controller with zero actual coding.

There is even custom firmware to turn off-the-shelf IOT devices to work with "open" standards.
