Hey guys, I’m thinking about setting up HA. A big positive would be if our bedroom lights (Feit brand) turned on when we enter the room.
Or similarly in my office, I have an LED light that plugs in to a power strip, so I could use a motion sensor + a Wemo power switch I already have to trigger my office light to turn on.
What motion sensor works and isn’t expensive?
Sidebar: also, is it possible to link a wifi connected light switch to operate our Feit bulbs? The lamp is plugged in to a socket that doesn’t connect to the only light switch in the room and it gets old having to tell Google home every time we enter or leave the room.
Definitely not on the cheap side, but maybe you won’t find one: the Hue ecosystem works quite fine for me for years now. I’m just setting up motion sensor and light on the bridge and then they are also discoverable by HA and then setting up automation inside HA. It would work the same with Hue power switch.
Once again, this is more pricey solution, but I’m also building my system gradually, so it’s manageable.
