Wait, so the preferred solution was a (presumably RF) remote and voice activation? So you've finished watching a movie, and now have to search the couch cushions just to turn the light on? Or you are going to the bathroom late at night and have to say "OK Google" loudly enough for the mic to hear you, possibly waking people up? Carrying around a portable lantern sounds more convenient.

Congratulations, somehow this house's lighting system is less ergonomic than my great-grandfather's house that was lit by kerosene lantern.
