They’re top-down/bottom-up, tie into my smart home setup (whole topic in itself)

    I’m also a developer. I had a some light automation set up, and one day decided to revert the whole thing.

    When I enter a room I flip the switch, and the lights come on. It’s so elegant and simple, no sensors or wifi required.

    I do have one automated light in my basement, but it is just a dumb motion sensor in my laundry room. that’s nice when my hands are full, otherwise I’m capable of toggling the lights.

    People do some cool stuff with automation, but for the most part these are solved problems. I don’t need to hit a movie button on my phone and have the room reconfigure itself. I do, however, need to get my steps in, so I’ll walk across a room.
