Don’t get me wrong I’m a big Home Assistant fan, I use it everyday for automations around the house but I just don’t see voice control as a necessity. I feel, and have always felt, that voice control is a gimmick. Do we really need to switch on lights or open the garage door with our voice? Is a switch really that hard to use?

Of course there are certain circumstances where voice control makes sense, e.g. for people with disabilities or people with their hands full (think cooking, painting…etc)

I would love to hear from HA users about how voice control solves immediate problems for them - particularly ones that a switch can’t solve
