You read my mind! With the google assistant integration in the X5 working so well, I use it a lot to turn on my house lights as I come up my long driveway when it gets dark at 4pm in the winter. Actually ordered a smart switch to allow me to do the same with my porch lights and wondered about adding a smart switch to my garage door too. Set a routine "Welcome me home" and have it turn on my house lights, porch lights, and open the garage door or use location base to do it.

Every morning when I hit that button I cuss - this morning I moved the mirror again. Not sure why I have to press so hard to activate it - but all 3 buttons are the same way, so I assume it is by design.
