I'm with you on this, but i am genuine curious, what kind of advantage does it bring? You still have to unload the dishwasher, you can close the blinds with 1 button when you're at home. My temperature control has a sensors outside to check how much heating i need.
Literally i want examples of where this makes life easier?
It's good if you have pets, being able to both keep an eye and control certain parts of the house for their benefit when you're not there.
There's also the first world problem of being too cold in bed but the thermostat is downstairs.
We have motorised shutters, my next plan is to tie in a daylight sensor so we can shut them at night and they open up a bit at dawn so the cats can sun themselves. At the moment we just have them open all the time, i mislike that.
