Hi everyone,
I’ve been diving into the world of smart lighting and motion sensors lately, and I wanted to share some of my experiences and questions with you all.
First off, I recently upgraded my Philips Hue bulbs, and I’m absolutely thrilled with the new power feature they introduced. It’s so convenient that the lights remember their color and brightness settings even after a power outage or when manually turned off and back on. I’ve been using them in my living room, and it’s made a huge difference in maintaining the ambiance I love. If anyone else has tips on optimizing this feature, I’d love to hear them!
On the motion sensor front, I’ve been experimenting with Hue motion sensors paired with Zooz dimmer switches. I created a simple rule in the Motion and Light app to turn on the lights when motion is detected. However, I’ve noticed that some of my rules aren’t working as expected. The logs aren’t showing any activity, which makes troubleshooting a bit tricky. Has anyone else encountered this issue, or do you have any suggestions on how to ensure the logs capture the necessary information?
Another thing I’m curious about is the compatibility of Sylvania Dimmer LEDs with my SmartThings setup. I’ve heard they can be connected, but I’m not sure which models work best. If anyone has experience with these bulbs or can recommend specific models, that would be incredibly helpful.
Lastly, I’ve been thinking about integrating more smart lighting into my home, especially in areas like my garage and outdoor spaces. I’m considering options that are both energy-efficient and durable. If anyone has recommendations or success stories about specific brands or setups, I’d appreciate it!
I’m really enjoying the journey of automating my home, and I’m excited to learn more from the community. Let’s keep the conversation going!
Best regards,
