100% agree. I dont want a Yes, Got it, Will do or even worse, I have turned on the Bedroom Light. I want soft success ding or a low failure boop.

why would you want an audio notification for a light? it either turns on and it worked or it doesnt turn on. i see no value in having a ding or anything of the kind

if i imagine constant dinging whenever i enter a room and the motion sensor toggles the light innit i'd go mad

Talk back is how you make sure what you asked for is what happens.

An affirmative beep but the light does not turn on means you have to guess what did.

Star Trek got it right. two beeps, "Low High" = yup, "High Low" = nope
