What kind of a moron would spend £3000 on something that then needs a subscription to work?

I know, right? Thermostats have worked since (and were invented some time in) the 1600's, but now... no, no no... we've got to loop in "the whole internet" as a dependency (not to mention one's smartphone, and probably a payment system for an ongoing monthly subscription).

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...
