Watching TV and I'd like the lights dimmed or turned off.

Easily automated with a power monitoring smart plug.

Finished putting laundry away and laid down to go to bed.

I'm not sure I understand...

Someone left the kitchen and the light is still on. I want it turned off without having to get up from the couch and I don't want to wait for the motion timer to expire.

Better motion sensing (mmWave)

Someone is coming over, say Pizza delivery, and I want the exterior lights to go back to full bright before they arrive.

Sure you got me there, I pull out my phone and turn on the porch light, takes 5 seconds instead of 2 🤷 realistically when that happens, I was already on my phone... I was just ordering pizza...
