Which is why I don't have anything automated in my house. I have kids to raise, I have trouble finding time for any hobbies at all. I don't have time to take on the automate my house hobby.
I do recommend getting at least one Hue bulb for the kids; you can entertain them for a solid half hour by setting the bulb to automatically change colors and turning the rest of the lights off.
I have a Hue sphere bought like 10 years ago(?) and it was fun for a while - a year even - to prepare for sleep in slowly changing lights. Nowadays it just gathers dust in a corner while still looking cool, ain't nobody got time for that anymore.
