      Not everyone has the same level of mobility that you do.

      Incidentally, do you get off your arse to change the volume on your TV?

      I got a family that likes to leave the damn light switches all on at night, I’m no longer going around and shutting them all off when everyone is in bed. Also, they are tied to my alarm, when I disarm the alarm or it goes off, they all come on.

      But I’m doing all this through Home Assistant, a local open source automation server, not any of this cloud bullshit.

          Some fights are just not worth the hassle tho, you got to pick your battles.
          And it’s not like there is anyone factually “right” or “wrong”, it’s mostly a matter of opinions/priorities.

          Another example, different expectations w.r.t. to cleaning. Either try to convince the other person to clean more, even if they don’t see the need, or be always the one cleaning and build up frustration. Or: Get a roomba.
