When I turn the coffee maker on (or off), it's light also gets turned on (or off). I couldn't just used the same switched socket for both, but I had one free so here we are.

I'm considering a similar one.

Our kitchen ceiling lights now have a Shelly relay in their circuit. I'm considering a smart bulb in the rangehood - unusually, it fits a full-size A60/B22 bulb, so basically any standard smart lighting is an option - so it can be synced with the rest of the kitchen lights.

Also who wouldn't want to be able to have green light while cooking?
