This may be a dumb question, especially as I can’t find anything online about it. My use case is that people often leave the lights on in the kitchen. I don’t want to use the motion sensor to switch on the lights, but I do want it to switch off the lights if no motion is detected. Will all motion sensors allow me to do that? Any potential issues?
It is not a big kitchen, and I want to try and position the sensor so that the dogs walk below its detection area and don’t affect detection. I don’t think I need anything other than motion detection (e.g. temperature, humidity, brightness). If anybody has any suggestions for a device, I will be happy to hear it! I am in the UK.
Yes, it’s possible. Here is an example of a Routine that does it.
In this case, I happen to have used the motion sensor that is part of a motion/dimmer, but a standalone motion sensor will work too. For the UK, I see several Z-Wave sensors that should work with ST from Ecolink, Zooz, Homeseer, etc.
