Hi folks. Newbie to the forum here but I am a techie who’s done a bunch of tinkering through the years.
Quick question for the group here…
I have a few rooms with a large number of high hats and Decor switches. While I’ve already gone LED I think that these guys are still consuming quite a bit of energy (especially since everyone has been home all day b/c of Covid).
I’d like a cheap way to default the switches to off during daylight hours but allow for manaul override. More importantly, I’d like NOT to be dependant on a mobile app that syncs to a cloud enabled service to get things done.
I can use an existing PC here or a R Pi as a server if need be.
What are your recommendations?
Can I fit a Sonoff module into the existing switches somehow (most are standard 2 way and not 3 way)? Should I go zigbee with a hub of sorts?
Any suggestions on cheaper solutions? I have more rooms than you’d think.
Thanks.
