Can someone explain to me what this ecosystem is and the appeal of it?

I have nothing automated in my life, that I know of? I don't have a garage; the door to the house has a key; the lights I turn on with a switch; no Alexa, don't use Siri... I am not exactly opposed to automation, but I am hesitant to share even more demographic data to cloud services.

If you don't like having "the big light" on then colour changing and dimmable lights are great. A lot of people don't feel qualified to install actual dimmer switches.

I only set mine to warm, cold and purple/blue but I don't have room for three lamps.

Stuff like the sunrise timer, switching lights on when you're on holiday, and out of home control are just gimmicks though.
