Smart home is not about just turn on/off lights remotely. It's about do it automatically/reponding to other interactions.

i.e, when sunlight is out (in HA, you can get sunset triggers), and when there are people present in living room, turn on living room lights.

I wrote a little script for my homebrew ESPHome-controlled CW/WW LED strip to automatically control color temperature based on if and where the sun is in the sky. Warm-only when the sun is down, mix of warm and cool when the sun is up with peak coolness at solar noon.
