    Having kids makes a big difference. It’s very useful to be able to shut off all the lights in the common areas and turn off the lights in their bedroom when they fall asleep. It’s also nice to be able to push a button to start a song on the speaker for musical routines (like cleaning up breakfast to Blue Danube or running to bed to Night Comes from Pikmin).

    We also have a TON of lamps, and their switches are not always easily accessible (especially because our house is a perpetual mess).

    The smart lock is because my wife always used to ask me if I locked the door after I got into bed, and I never remembered because ADHD.
