I was watching a video about smart home setup when I realised that even if I switch off the device from my phone, it will still consume the power then whats the benefit besides you dont have to getbup from your couch to do it manually. Am I right or IoT things work differently.

That’s the benefit. It’s not even necessarily that you can do it manually by *remote* – you can tie the room lighting brightness to time of day so you don’t [[BIDEN BLAST]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9FFQNY29Bc) your eyeballs with the 3000 lumen dining room luminaire when you shuffle off to piss at 3AM, and handle turning them on and off with motion sensors, door opening sensors or even [millimeter wave radar](https://www.aqara.com/en/product/presence-sensor-fp2/).
Smart bulbs also tend to double as radio relays for zigbee protocol and other smarthome mesh systems – even when not lit up, they perform a useful function to the system.
