3 weeks ago I purchased one of these for my laundry room, mainly for the motion sensor and needed another zigbee repeater. I now own 6 and they are freaking awesome for using with automations. I’ve wanted to integrate lights into automation reminders but am very anti using RGB for something big like a lamp or overhead light. I have these all around the house now which not only strengthen my zigbee network but I have integrated the following automations to run to serve as reminders:
(Have a simple button at my washer/dryer) - hit it once and it turns all of the nigtlights red for one hour (load duration) and then flips to green when the hour is up indicating that I need to rotate or take out the laundry. Double tap the button to turn all of the night lights off, or effectively “resetting” them
Yellow Lights turn on when the front door has been unlocked for > 30 min
Orange light comes on when my home server loses power (has all my shows and movies on it and is a pain to reset when I’m already laying in bed)
Blue Light comes on when a package is detected outside
Have 4 hue dials around the house, hitting the fourth button 3x’s on any of them can also reset the lights so I don’t always have to keep going to the laundry room whenever I want to turn one off.
These are just for starters and am looking to add more. Can very easily be triggered and are a great, passive reminder that doesn’t turn your house into a lazer tag arena. Anyone have any suggestions to add?
