One of my favourite "smart" devices is the smart plug connected to the lamp in our kitchen. It turns on 45 minutes before sunset and off at 10:30pm. It's like a reliable old-school mechanical timer but with just enough smarts to improve the experience.

The plug is from Athom and runs the open-source Tasmota firmware out of the box. There's no cloud servers involved. After supplying a time zone and lat/long coordinates it calculates sunset locally.
