Fair enough. Though you can automatically set a lighting scene once the Neflix app launches on the TV. And with the motion sensors and the light in the kitchen, you'd need to be patient and just let them time out. You either want it to be automated, or do it manually. Everything in between is just more complicated. But I see where you're going. Automations need to be fine tuned, factor in edge cases. And it's a chore to get them right. Plus I can also imagine lots of scenarios where life is just more dynamic and automations aren't really the correct tool.
