As a newbie to the smart home scene, I’m really curious about the possibilities with Hubitat. I’ve heard amazing things about its flexibility and local automation capabilities. My goal is to set up a simple but effective lighting system that activates based on motion without relying on Alexa or Google services. Here’s what I’m thinking and hoping to achieve!### My VisionI want to create a system where:- Motion sensors detect activity in specific areas.- Lights turn on automatically when motion is detected.- Lights dim or turn off after a period of inactivity.- All of this happens locally on my Hubitat Elevation, without any cloud dependency.### Questions I Have1. Device Compatibility: What motion sensors are best suited for Hubitat? Are there specific brands or models that work seamlessly?2. Rule Setup: How detailed can the automation rules get? Can I set different behaviors for day vs. night?3. Integration: Can I combine multiple sensors (like door sensors) to trigger lighting? For example, if a door opens and motion is detected, turn on specific lights.4. Customization: Is it possible to adjust sensitivity levels or set delays for the lights to turn off after motion stops?### What I’ve Tried So FarI’ve added a few Hubitat-compatible motion sensors and started experimenting with the Rule Machine. It’s powerful, but a bit overwhelming at first. I managed to create a basic rule where lights turn on when motion is detected, but I’m looking to refine it further.### Tips I’d Love to Hear- Best practices for setting up motion-based lighting.- How to prevent false triggers (like pets or drafts).- Suggestions for testing and debugging rules.I’m really excited about the potential here and can’t wait to dive deeper into Hubitat’s capabilities. Let’s make this lighting system smart, reliable, and entirely local!
