I’ve been replacing our light switches with smart switches. We tell Alexa good night and she turns off all the lights and locks the doors. I’m chuckling at the idea of telling Alexa “good luck with the lamps!”
We actually tried this! Tried to get her to say “Good luck with your lamps” as the reply because we’re British and terminally sarcastic like that, but ofc she doesn’t really do tone so it was underwhelming.
We turned it off and went back to the old fashioned way 😂
I do this with a Hue sync box. When we switch off the Apple TV the sync box stops syncing which tells Home Assistant it’s time to put the lights back to normal.
As for going to sleep, I simply set down my iPhone in a Qi charger and Home Assistant powers everything down, turns on a fan and reminds me to close any doors I may have left open (we like to open up our space).
It even adjusts the lights accordingly based on who’s asleep. At one point we carried Bluetooth trackers around so it knew exactly who was in each room but my wife got tired of the tracker real quick.

Google has a decent British voice. But no tone either. I wonder if you made it ‘ya or lamps’
I was just thinking… Home assistant routine?
