Jim,
Sneaky? I am reminded of something that I'm not sure if many of our
younger members have ever seen: a Rube Goldberg machine.
Just in case they're not, here is a link to one example:

While they are definitely fun to watch, and program, sometimes it just
makes more sense to simply walk over to the light switch and turn it on
(or, in the case of the video, to walk over to the window and open the
curtain).
