ANYONE ELSE FEEL AWKWARD TALKING TO THEIR TV?
- Yeah, I get the awkwardness. Voice commands feel unnatural, especially with people around.
- Automations are definitely less cringey—if the lights just dim on their own, nobody bats an eye.
- I’ve tried those scene buttons. They’re handy but honestly, it’s just another thing to mount or lose track of.
- Gesture controls sound cool in theory, but in practice? Half the time they misread what I’m doing or don’t register at all.
- At the end of the day, sometimes a regular old light switch is just simpler. Not everything needs to be “smart,” you know?
ANYONE ELSE FEEL AWKWARD TALKING TO THEIR TV?
Funny, I remember the first time I tried voice commands at home—felt like I was auditioning for a sci-fi movie, except my “audience” was my skeptical partner and a cat who looked deeply unimpressed. Honestly, I still feel a bit silly, especially if someone’s visiting. Automations are smoother, for sure. There’s something magical about walking into a room and having the lights set themselves just right—like the house is quietly looking out for you.
But then again, sometimes I just want to flip a switch and not overthink it. Maybe it’s about finding that sweet spot between convenience and comfort… not every gadget needs a voice or a brain.
