Hey , Share my little lighting transformation using motion sensors. I recently realized I was totally underutilizing my Aqara motion sensors—I had them just turning on hallway lights and… that was pretty much it.
So I thought, why not go all in and make lighting actually smart?
Started with the basics: hallway lights turn on low at night, brighter in the evening. Fine. Then I got creative—now whenever I enter the kitchen in the morning, lights come on only if luminance is below a certain level. Same in the bathroom. And for my lazy movie nights? One step into the living room after 9PM dims the lights automatically. Pure vibes.
Bonus tip: combining the motion sensor with a door sensor makes everything way more reliable. No more lights randomly turning off when I sit still too long.
Definitely still tweaking things, but damn, adding logic + time period + sensors = game changer. Anyone else using motion sensors in fun ways? Always down to steal cool ideas.
