A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If you're using Alexa to simply flick a switch, that is indeed a bit overkill. I'm using a cheap Trådfri (or something like that) light switch from Ikea. I have a dimmable lamp with three different light temperatures and can simply set the lighting from my couch. That's really convenient. But it's also point to point, since it's just ZigBee. And it's pretty cheap, 20€ all in all.
