Exploring Smart Lighting Automation for Morning Routines

I’ve been really enjoying setting up my smart lighting system with OpenHAB and zwave devices. I’ve managed to create some pretty cool automations that make my mornings so much smoother. For instance, I’ve set up my bedroom lights to gradually turn on as the sun rises, which helps me wake up more naturally. It’s been a game-changer for my sleep schedule!One thing I’m still figuring out is how to create a seamless experience for both me and my wife. I’ve created separate modes for our routines, but it’s getting a bit complex with all the rules and triggers. I’d love to hear if there’s a more streamlined way to achieve this without having to manage so many separate rules.I’ve also been experimenting with using scenes and timers to control the lights in different parts of the house. It’s been a steep learning curve, but seeing the system come together has been really rewarding. I’m especially impressed with how OpenHAB handles the integration of different devices and protocols.If anyone has tips on simplifying these morning routines or improving the overall setup, I’d be really grateful! It’s been a fun project, and I’m excited to keep learning and refining my smart home setup.
