Fingers may be included in most setups, along with actuators like arms or legs often required to approach the finger to the switch, but they still come with a wetware control unit that gets easily distracted by anything from puppies, to the fear of being late for work.
That’s a good point; generally my little fingies aren’t the problem as much as the control unit.
Honestly I’m just a bit of a luddite when it comes to “smart” tech, which I guess is somewhat funny considering I’ve worked in IT for a looong time. Or maybe it’s because I’ve worked in IT I’m a luddite?
I’ve been so deep for so long into the “DIY IoT”, that now I look like an IoT luddite. Funny how that works.
For example, I’ve had the idea of a bistable electro-mechanical light switch on the back burner for so long, that by the time I’ve found a practical solution, decades had passed and it was burned to a crisp, with other stuff having taken center stage.

I’m just going to nod and pretend I understand what this is
