My electrician is currently trying to sell me on smart light switches. Apparently the main benefit being that you can control them remotely.

Who the fuck needs to be able to turn the light on when they're not in the room? It's not like they need to warm up anymore, they're all LEDs.

I actually had a use-case for a smart switch (I wanted it to automatically turn off after a certain amount of time). In the end, I went back to a dumb-switch after a frustrating diagnosis, maybe I'm biased/lucky to never have had a light-switch fail, but I didn't even consider it as the potential fault until I electrically proved it...
