What benefits do I gain by building terminals?

The terminals say that I can access additional options when paired with other objects, but what kind of options does this mean?

Is it worth investing the time and resources into terminals in your settlement?


Terminals allow you to control all switches, lightboxes and turrets connected to the terminal. Since the terminal is connected to your power, essentially this is any of the above connected to the same power grid.
