I had a similar issue, especially for lighting, there is just very little to no automation I want. Which was a "problem" when getting into smart home stuff, because lighting was somehow the poster child and most recommended part.
My favorites are now air quality and climate measurement (the reason why i tried it again was mold prevention), climate control and a smart lock because i was scared of forgetting my keys when moving away from any friends I could hand a spare.
Not contradicting or criticizing, just describing my lack of creativity.
