One of the major uses for my watch is that I can run the "Find my phone" app from it. Because my watch is strapped to my arm and therefore doesn't go missing often, while my phone is...somewhere.
We have three remotes for the TV, because I kept losing them, and they were only £5 each. Once every week or two the cleaner finds all of them and they start out on the living room table, before children (and me) lose them again.
I must check if I can give Alexa access to make my phone ring.
Oh - and I looked into getting physical switches that can make the smart lights go on and off, but it turns out that I *really* want to buy into the new open standard that everyone is moving to (Matter/Thread), and that it's going to be a good few months before there's actually much on the market that supports it. It's a shame I'm so impatient.
