I set up a scene to automatically manage the lighting in my hallway, so that it turns on only when necessary and without manual intervention.
This setup relies on two wireless motion sensors (strategically placed at both ends of the hallway) and on a switch integrated directly into the lamp.
Hardware used
- 2 battery-powered wireless Zigbee motion sensors (discreet and easy to place)
- 1 Zigbee switch (in-wall module if necessary)
- Zigbee2MQTT controller for device management
- Home automation software Gladys for creating the scene
Advantages
- Lights turn on only when needed
- No manual pressing of a switch
- Detection at each entrance of the hallway thanks to the two sensors
