Google might merge back with Nest to make more smart home products

Nest could potentially rejoin Google’s hardware team and the two could make more smart home products that rival Amazon’s lineup of Alexa devices. Nest currently exists as an independent company under the Alphabet umbrella.

What is the purpose of these smart devices unless your handicapped? I see healthy people buying bulbs they can turn off with their phones yet it can be done faster the old fashion way. Weird
People use them for more than just turning on/off from their phone. You can do a lot of things you can't with regular bulbs. Like having them turn on automatically when you're away so it looks like someone is home. Etc.
