The new Android 11 power menu screen has been a life changer for me. I now control my lights with my phone 90% of the time since it's literally one power button click away, and I always have my phone on me.

I use the light switch on the wall.

90% of the time when I want to turn lights off, I'm either on the couch or in bed. In neither case do I want to get up to turn off a light.

It doesn't work with hue lights, so it's worthless to me. Besides, I just have a on/off widget on my home screen which is faster and more reliable than holding the power button.

It does work with Hue lights. You need to connect your Hue lights to your Google home app first, though.

Oh, good to know. But then it wants me to create a Hue account and link that with Google... which I don't really want / care for. So I'll be sticking with my widgets.
