I still turn my lights on with a switch on the wall. I always wondered why people wanted to turn on their lights with an app, but maybe there's some life quality thing I'm totally missing out on?

You’re missing out on not needing to think about turning on your lights. Come home at 6pm every night after work; lights come on at 5:55pm. Come home at different times of the night; set up a motion sensor to trigger the lights when the door opens or per room. Don’t want to set up a motion sensor? Geofence your house. Seasons changing mean sunset is later; have logic that only turns on lights after sunset. Kids are only allowed to watch tv until 8pm; automate the tv turning off at 8pm. Its limitless what you can do. This is all very easy to do using something like HomeKit. Each day adds minutes back in your life; span that across a lifetime and it makes a difference.
