In response to "LYC: There are so many light switches in the new house. I can't decide if I want to put motion switches in some places like the laundry or the " by oblique

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.

Now it's not so bad when I fall asleep on the couch and have to walk upstairs at 1am. Or if someone decides they want more water late at night.

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

  - 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
