      Huh, sounds like a very unreliable setup. Admittedly mine is much simpler and I refuse to use voice control for anything at all, but I experience zero glitches with my Shelly switches and HA integration.

      Put a lamp on your nightstand, it’s a fucking game changer. We have a ceiling fan with the main lights, but lamps on both nightstands. It rules, always within arm reach, light immediately if you need it, but much softer light than the main light, and not pointed into your eyes when you lay down.

      The only thing I truly miss is being able to turn off my bedroom light when I am in bed. But the stress I save is worth getting up and turning it off.

      It is possible to just install the one smart light, you know.

        When it works, it’s great. But no matter how much you spend, which brands you go with, how you have it set it, eventually something is going to fuck up, and you’ll spend half your day fixing it all.
