Those of you who have a #SmartHome, what are your use-cases for smart plugs?

Most of my electrical things aren't just on/off.

I've got a light, a fan, and an electric blanket which can be controlled from the plug.

Other things (like TV, kettle, etc) need interaction after the power is turned on.

Have you found any good uses for #IoT plugs?

(Not interested in rants about security & privacy, thanks.)

@Edent Strings of lights around the kids beds, plugged in under the beds where the sockets/switches aren’t accessible.

Also have a smart switch on the hallway light which is great, because it turns itself off fifteen minutes after it’s been turned on. Would kill for Gira-compatible smart dimmer switches, but they don’t exist ☹️.
