> Why do I need voice activated lights

My parents are getting older. Their knees appreciate being able to tell Siri to turn off the downstairs lights from upstairs.

This was what made me understand the voice-activated stuff too. I hadn’t appreciated, until hanging around with more people enduring the indignities of aging, how even trivial physical tasks become ordeals.

My friends are getting old and I bought them remote control for lights this Christmas that don't require an internet connection.

it would be easier to turn off the lights when leaving the floor/room. Sadly, that seems to be too much effort for modern humans
