Ha, I use mine almost exclusively as a light switch. I don't have to get out of bed to turn off my lights or turn on my fan. I'm sure they're losing a bunch of money on me

And they also have smart lights and phone apps that do the same thing.

It's a great lightswitch. Also, thermostat adjustor (my husband is very particular and changes it about a dozen times a day).
