Not the things that you depend on, but automations that are just for fun

I have an NFC take at the bottom of the stairs that I scan before going up for the night. It turns off all the appropriate lights downstairs, bedroom lights on upstairs, sets the air filters, etc. But it also has the voice assistant tell me good night and to sleep well. Because I apparently need that to happen.

None of that is pointless. It sounds useful and reassuring.

I guess he means the NFC could be a simple push button. The rest, I agree. I would need something similar
