Smart Lighting Automation in Kitchen: A User's Experience

I’ve been experimenting with smart lighting automation in my kitchen, and I’m absolutely thrilled with the results! I’ve set up my Hue lights using the Groups and Scenes app, which has allowed me to create dynamic lighting scenarios based on different modes—day, evening, and night. Here’s how it works:

  • Day Mode: Overhead lights provide bright, ambient lighting for daytime activities.
  • Evening Mode: Dimmer overhead lighting combined with task lighting under the counter creates a warm, cozy atmosphere.
  • Night Mode: Soft, ambient lighting from under-cabinet strips and the Hue Go lamps ensures a relaxing ambiance without being too harsh.

The best part? The system adapts seamlessly to different modes, and the status updates on my dashboard are spot-on. I’m curious to know if others have similar setups or if there are any tips to enhance this further. It’s been a game-changer for my daily routine, and I can’t recommend it enough! :star2:
