I think being a techie/software engineer takes the “magic” out of the cool technology we take for advantage. It’s still super cool to me that I can tell Siri “goodnight” and the thermostat is changed to my preferred sleeping temp, all the right lights turn off, and! the security system is armed.
Sure I had to setup HomeBridge and a few other open source projects to get it all working, but that makes it even cooler!
