When I say "Hey Google, turn off all the lights" and it says "Okay, turning 55 lights off" I always recoil. No significant regrets, though.

The app was awful a few years ago but they took the feedback in stride and made something responsive and usable (lots of headroom for improvement but I can't overstate how bad the app was on launch).

Same, but I also have ones that are turned off due to switches or outright not plugged in but still configured. So every night when I ask it to turn everything off it goes "Ok, turning off 15 lights and the 4 lights are not available" which is quite the mouthful. I've been waiting to try to configure Hue scenes via keywords using IFTT thinking this might bypass this but I never made it that far.

Heh, that's awesome. And I thought my 20 was bad. I love these lights so much.
