When did tech get so complex? For eg to change a lightbulb you now need to install bootable Linux on the bulb card, run apt-get, install a container, get the right Python and node packages into it, connect to WiFi. Then you can flip the switch to turn it on.

Only a slight exaggeration. Certain design patterns for home automation are close to this. Currently I have 2 actual lightbulbs operated via Echo voice-command switched outlets. A DIY version would probably be like I described.
