Oh come on - don't you want for all your bulbs to be turned on already _before_ you get back home? It's a gamechanger!

>>baal80+V8
What is a game changer is to be able to just turn off everything in the house when I leave, and know the iron will be off, along with all the lights.

It's not critically important, but the many individually small conveniences add up.

Turn off the main switch ?

>>dustyp+ap
No, because I don't want my termostat to switch off, my clocks to reset, my home server to go down every time I go to the shops or have a meeting. And no, I'm not about to rewire the house to provide isolated circuits just for the things I don't want to switch off, when I could instead just replace a few light switches and plug in a few smart plugs.

I can assure you pretty much nobody goes to their fuse board and trips the main switch even when going on holiday, much less during their day to day life. Many of the people who don't do that still tend to turn off as much as possible when leaving the house.
