Sending the house to sleep with one tap

In the evening the same routine used to repeat itself: switch things off, check the doors, get the house quiet.

Now I hold my phone against a small NFC tag, a sticker the phone recognises on contact, and the house moves into its night mode by itself.

It takes about a second and, unlike me, it never forgets a step.
