bathrooms. Definitely need a dimmer for our dining/kitchen table hanging light. It is as bright as a thousand suns.

Made some progress in general on the house. Kitchen is basically unpacked. Internet, WiFi, TV all in. Smart lock installed. Haven't started on any of the switches I bought. Hopefully this week but I really need to get my office set up so I have a computer.

I think you just convinced me to get the wyze floodlight. so thanks for that. -- nm - amanda May 2, 09:17
I love some motion sensors. I just put some in the stairway and set them up in home assistant to turn on the light very dim at night when triggered. - sycor May 2, 08:45 9
- we have a motion sensor light near the floor in our bathroom. It's just enough light to use in the middle of the night without turning on the - Andie May 2, 09:14 5
  - my nest protects are great for "a little bit of light at night." -- nm - amanda May 2, 09:15 4
    - I do love that feature. Speaking of smoke alarms. The house has two within like 6 ft. of each other. One in the great room and one in our bedroom - oblique May 2, 09:22 3
      - in most areas it's required that you have one smoke alarm per bedroom, so it makes sense that you'd have one there - amanda May 2, 09:54 2
        
        interesting. We only had 2 in our old house both in hallways. I'll have to check the other bedrooms to see if they have one -- nm* - oblique May 2, 10:00 1
        
        the original house part of my house has two bedrooms separated by a linen closet. the bedroom doors are less than six feet from one another - amanda May 2, 10:05
- That's very cool. I was just thinking regular motion switches but putting some smarts into it would have some advantages... -- nm - oblique May 2, 08:57 2
  - Oh and for my next thing to figure out in HA, I want HA to notify me when my wash is done. - sycor May 2, 09:12
  - I could have taken a much easier route, but I was using it to learn HA a little bit. And with HA I had more control over how long the light stayed on. - sycor May 2, 09:10
