Hi all,
New to all this so sorry if I am flogging a dead horse.
I currently have a number of ‘Smart Life’ style bulbs that are all controlled by Alexa but I want to fully automate lights in the house (Alexa tends to ignore me 60% of the time, I blame it on being a multi accent household) with a simple PIR/LUX sensor that will auto switch on the lights if the room is dark and it detects movement.
Ideally the sensors will be a single unit, battery powered and connect direct to wifi (no hub). I dont really want to have to get into soldering or RasPi stuff at the moment. I am planning on running HA OS on a VM on my HyperV server or maybe in HyperV on a Win10 box I have knocking around.
Will also help the kids out as all the switches are too high for them and Alexa ignores them 80% of the time.
Do such sensors exist? Any recommendations? Am I barking up the wrong tree entirely?
Thanks in advance!
