I’ve got small dumblights that are motion-activated and run on AAA batteries. Bought one for the bathrooms specifically so getting up in the middle of the night to take a leak doesn’t involve turning on the full light. They worked well enough (and they were cheap enough) that we now have like 6 in various places.

In the bathroom I use a switch.
Not everything needs to be “smart”

Same, I’m running homeassistant. Things that are out of the way like PC under desk get WakeOnLan from HA, or chandeliers, and grow lights for my wife’s indoor trees get smart treatment. Kitchen lights are switches, because if I’m in the kitchen I will be by the switches and opening phone to launch HA app and scroll to a smart light button would take much longer.
