| | | | | Earlier this year we finished converting our garage into a home office. As part of this effort we replaced all of the electrics. For the lighting I asked the electrician to install Zigbee compatible spot lighting (I don't have a lot of head space, so small recessed lighting was essential). The bulbs he installed were dimmable, but the switch he installed was a simple Zigbee on/off switch. After discovering this and having had a clear couple of conversations on the requirements I decided to replace the switch for a dimmable one. My first attempt went nowhere, the switch simply either functioning as a simple on/off or not at all (the instructions for that one were absolute garbage), but my second choice of switch succeeded and gave us a Zigbee light switch that allowed us to dim the lights. But I hit a problem. Home Assistant didn't support it and so I embarked on an exercise to get it working. | |

| | | | | I've been using Home Assistant to control many things at my smart home, including a couple of lights which are toggled on and off with motion sensors. I have one of these in the bathroom, so the motion sensor detects when I enter the bathroom and its light turns on, and the light turns back off if the motion sensor doesn't detect any motion in a specific period (60 seconds). Setting this automation is very easy using the motion-activated light blueprint , you just need to choose the entities for the motion sensor and the light, and Home Assistant handles all the hassle of figuring out the logic for when to turn the light on or off, and what to do when a motion is detected in the cool off period. | |

| | | | | I've been running [Home Asssistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/) (HA) in my network for well over a year now, and it's primary use case has been connecting devices from different ecosystems into one management interface. Lately I have been migrating a few automations from native HA to [Node-RED](https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-node-red), which has been a fun exercise, and I'm looking to expand the usage of automations in the time to come. **My mantra for this setup is that everything that can be automated, should be automated, while at the same time keeping it as simple and unobtrusive as possible for everyone in the household.** | |
