For the fan - I like having it turn on in the late afternoon to freshen up the air in the bedroom.

I also really like automatically adjusting the brightness/color temperature of all our lights during the day.

It’s by no means necessary, but I don’t want to go back now.

Thanks. I typically turn on the lights with a wall mounted switch when I walk into a room and turn it off when I leave the room. Never gave brightness or color temperature much thought.

The biggest benefit is it gives you something to tinker with!

There are people out there who similarly light a candle and never gave much thought to the fanciness of a switch.

If candles were as safe as lightbulbs I would probably still use them.

Safety is a totally reasonable differentiator between substitutes. So's price, reliability, functionality, convenience, etc.
