Re: 3 stupid reasons for light control via the Internet
Okay, also many grown-up people like to toy around with technology, a few decades ago model trains were quite popular. But anyone toying around with "smart home" stuff somewhat reasonably would find ways to set up some (maybe even random) lighting scheme without having to connect to the Internet. That would perfectly cover the first two "use cases". And the third case (parents coming to your home before you arrive) implies that you believe your parents are not able to find and operate the light switch on the wall. Assuming that you were clever enough to install standard wall switches too (if only as a fallback option in case your smartphone's battery is depleted), this would raise some questions ...
