My wifes downstairs office is also her crafting room and reading room. So, I have 2 zones currently setup. When she’s crafting or working which is zone 1, the main room lights are on, these lights also automatically turn on when you enter the room. If she decides she wants to read and goes over to her readong nook (zone 2), the main lights turn off, her reading light turns on as well as some twinkle lights we have strung up for her. As she goes between zones, the lights will change to match and if she leaves her office for 10min, the lights will turn off.

One in my livingroom/kitchen:

  1. Sitting at the dining table
  2. In the kitchen
  3. Sitting at the coffeetable/TV
  4. General area
    No automations here yet, but planning on some light work. Like, of the tv is on and I’m moving towards kitchen for a new beer that the light go on but not full bright mode.

One in the bedroom:

  1. In bed
  2. Out of bed
    Mainly that if I’m in bed, my night routine starts. And if night is active and I’m out of bed, the lights in the bathroom are dimmed on.

One in the bathroom

  1. On the toilet
  2. In the shower area
  3. General area

My fan goes on when I’m 15 sec in the shower area
Ofcourse lights on/off
