Hi everyone, I’m in the process of setting up some outdoor lighting for our backyard, and I wanted to share my thoughts and ask for your advice. The goal is to make the space more functional and enjoyable for evening barbecues. I’ve divided the area into a few zones: the grill area, the dining area, and a more relaxed atmosphere zone. I’m hoping to control these with smart plugs that can be automated based on time, weather, or activity. Ideally, I’d like the plugs to support dimming for the atmosphere zone, so it’s not just an on/off situation. I’m currently considering brands like ELEGRP, Kasa Smart, or something compatible with ESPHome, but I’m still weighing which direction makes the most sense. Has anyone here built something similar? I’d love to hear what smart plugs (or other gear) you’ve used that work well outdoors and play nicely with common platforms like Home Assistant or Google Home. Bonus points for reliability and weather resistance.
