I use mine differently than a lot of people. I’m quadriparetic, in a wheelchair with limited hand function, so any switch or remote is difficult for me.
So my first and most frequent use is as a touchless switch. Something I can just wave a hand over and use to then trigger a Hello Home Action or other devices turning on or off.
Second, I use them to indicate that I have entered a specific zone as part of my occupancy indicator protocol:
Both these uses are very valuable to me, but might not be important to many other people. And I can get away with using really simple inexpensive motion sensors, as I’m really just trying to catch directed action at very short range.
