    What problem does it solve that a button doesn’t do with less hassle?

    I’d sure like to know how you got your automation to function 100% perfectly based on simple triggers and states.

    TV comes on after dusk?

    What if the TV comes on in the late afternoon and normally its bright enough that it needs to close the drapes but today it’s cloudy so you’d like them to be open instead so the room isn’t pitch black? Or maybe you’d like to watch the backyard for some reason?

    “House…open the living room drapes.”

    There’s ALWAYS edge cases where Voice Control is useful to backstop “dumb” automatons built on triggers and states.
