Recently, I decided to tackle a small but annoying issue in my home: the always-dark kitchen pantry door. It was a hassle every time I needed to search for snacks or grab something from the back. Thanks to HomeKit, I found a perfect solution using the Eve Smart Light Switch and the Koogeek Door and Window Sensor. Here’s how I set it up!
First, I installed the Eve Light Switch and the Koogeek sensor on the pantry door. The setup was straightforward, and both devices paired seamlessly with my iPhone. Then, I opened the Home app and created a new automation. I set it to trigger when the door opens, which automatically turns on the light. It’s been working like a charm ever since!
This simple automation has made my life so much easier. No more fumbling in the dark, and it’s a great example of how smart home tech can solve everyday problems. If you’re thinking about trying HomeKit, I highly recommend starting with something small like this—it’s incredibly satisfying!
