Easiest method would be to get a motion sensor. :slight_smile: But you can try using webcore to accomplish what you want. But always a large chance it will constantly get out-of-sync. To check out webCoRE, go to https://community.webcore.co

The way that my bathroom is setup a motion sensor would be a bit difficult. @JDRoberts i started to read into what you tagged me and pretty much got lost lol. Guess this is a bit more complicated than I thought.

I just did this for my basement lights and @jkp is correct, webcore is the way to go and quite easy (for me at least).

If you have the MyQ lite app for use with ST I would recommend using it with tilt sensors. Works great for me. I use WebCore to perform several actions based on door opening, presence and time of day. It works great but I notice that I usually have the door opening and am in the garage before ST/…

I was thinking a tilt sensor would be the best option. Would a ecolink zwave style work fine? I don’t see anything specifically for smart things.
