To be sure, there is no *need* for smart lights, just like there’s no need for air conditioning, refrigerator water dispensers, and wireless headphones. But they are nice to have.

As someone who recently moved, they were pretty low on the priority list to get them reinstalled, but it was nice once it was done.

None of the things you listed need an internet connection so I would not consider them smart devices.
