To each there own, but i think after all is said and done, automatic hallway lights are just a natural fit and the best addition home automation gave me (as simple as it is). I have automatic lights in more spots because motion detection is easy, but I wouldn’t really miss them except in the hallway, where taking the time to flip the switch takes as much time as traversing, and then you still have to turn it off after.
As a person who has opened up a few xbox controllers to clean them up ‘to the max’, it’s probably beginner level DIY to open it up and disconnect the rumble motors. I think it was even broken in one or two we had ( OG xbox and wired 360 versions), and the system doesn’t prompt you to do something about or, or refuse service (can you imagine? that would suck). Still, I’d try to disconnect it non-destructively first
