I have a spinal cord injury (well technically, its an "incomplete" spinal cord injury) and yet must still work for a living (to the extent that I can). I make significant use of this technology as I have limited movement and significant daily pain and limitations I must live with.

I like that I can control things without needing to get up again if required (as mobility is quite difficult for me) but I also make use of motion sensors/schedules and stuff to ensure as much as possible that the areas i'm in are lit without me having to mess around with switches and stuff which can often be difficult with a cane in one hand, if I want to do literally anything else with the other.

It may well be a first world problem for some, but for me, it is simply a problem full stop and some basic home automation stuff has been a big help.
