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.
I have never used Feit lights with Home Assistant, but yes, my bedroom lights turn on when it senses motion. That automation disables when my living room lights are off (assuming we turn them off at bedtime) or when my phone plugs in to charge (which I do at bedtime). I use a motion sensor by Phillips Hue, and it integrates directly with the Home Assistant Yellow thru its Zigbee radio without an additional hub.
