Yes - I bought two triple-switch wifi-connected switches and only installed one of those. I rarely use it - the only automation that I could leave on for years was "turn the living room led lighting at sunset". This one works because it doesn't make a diference if other lights are already on, etc. Its "robust".
Every other idea failed in some "corner case" I had not thought about (eg turn off all lights as midnight - until one day you have guests at midnight etc).
You would have to add more and more sensors and logic for that to be robust enough for cases like this. (Or Alexa would get smart enough to confirm with you before applying that logic.)
