Thus far in my smart home journey I’m into energy savings. This is my kitchen light automation using the Aqara FP2. This automation has been rock solid reliable so far.
When the Kitchen FP2 detects presence, if the lux level is below 400, the kitchen lights dim to 100% and the kitchen timer stops.
When the kitchen FP2 stops detecting the presence, a timer is set for 60 seconds.
When the kitchen timer reaches 0, the kitchen light dims to 20% and sets another timer for 20 sec.
When the timer reaches 0, the kitchen lights turn off.
After 12 midnight under cabinet lights turns on instead of the main kitchen lights

It’s fantastic to hear it’s been reliably working for you. Thanks for taking the time to share your setup; it’s inspiring for other community members looking to optimize their home automation.
