Optimizing Smart Lighting for Extended Occupancy

As a homeowner exploring smart lighting solutions, I’ve been experimenting with motion sensors and presence detectors to enhance comfort and energy efficiency. My current setup includes Aqara P1 Motion Sensors in the kitchen and living room, paired with WLED WiFi lights. While the system works well for detecting motion, I’ve noticed that in scenarios where people stay in these areas for extended periods, the lights sometimes turn off prematurely due to lack of motion detection.

This has led me to consider integrating presence sensors as a more reliable solution. I came across the Linptech Zigbee Presence Sensor ES1, which seems promising but requires a power outlet. I’m curious about the community’s thoughts on this—would the convenience justify the aesthetic trade-off?

Additionally, my garage motion sensor isn’t performing as expected, leading me to manually control the lights. I’m exploring options to improve its reliability. If anyone has tips or alternative solutions, I’d be grateful!

Overall, my goal is to create a seamless lighting experience that adapts to daily routines without requiring constant adjustments. I’m excited to see how these enhancements can transform my home’s lighting setup. Any insights or recommendations would be invaluable! :blush:
