Smart Lighting Setup and Automation Tips

Hey everyone, I’ve been diving into setting up my smart home with a focus on lighting automation, and I thought I’d share some of my experiences and tips. :rocket:

First off, I recently installed a set of Sengled bulbs and was thrilled to see how seamlessly they integrated with Google Home. However, I ran into an issue where one bulb wouldn’t port over to Google’s ecosystem. After some troubleshooting, I realized it was a firmware update that caused the hiccup. A quick reset and reinstallation later, everything was back to normal! :hammer_and_wrench:

On the automation front, I’ve been experimenting with creating schedules that adjust based on the time of day and occupancy. For instance, my living room lights dim slightly in the evenings to create a cozy atmosphere, and they brighten up when motion is detected in the mornings. It’s been a game-changer for my daily routine. :crescent_moon::sunny:

I’d love to hear from others who’ve tackled similar projects or have tips for optimizing lighting setups. Are there any hidden features or clever automations you’ve discovered? Let’s share and learn together! :bulb::sparkles:
