Hi guys. This might be a stupid question haha. I have installed smart lights in all my rooms and controlling them through alexa. I have left the light switch on so I can control through alexa. Do you reckon keeping switches on will draw power?

Anything that can be controlled remotely is always using a little bit of power. And these days probably almost everything else in your home is always using a little bit of power.
