Is it only me who finds this funny? Why would I want to control lights away from home, to give my cats a scare? 🤪
I mean, you might have cameras installed which might be not infrared and in this case you might want to control lights too, but it seems to me to be a very narrow corner case.
@m0xee @fribbledom You've never accidentally left the lights on and gone on holiday? You don't have children who seem to think lights are free? You don't work awkward shift patterns? You're just lacking imagination.

Yep, probably I'm just a boring person. Who can even shut power completely off when leaving for extended periods 😅
@Baggypants @fribbledom
TBH I don't think my parents did me good when they taught me that skill, I wish I could worry less about insignificant things like that. But of course it has good sides too 😁
@m0xee @fribbledom I wish you could come round and teach my children that skill! 😁
