I’ll have you know, I let my bathtub drop for a year before fixing it
I’m sure if they evolved in an environment with electricity, they’d be going from room to room turning off light switches.
…Well if someone else in this damn house would ever turn them off I wouldn’t have to now would I?
My step kid literally turned on the kitchen, dining, hallway, and bathroom light after I went to bed and left them on. Cue grumpy ass me turning off lights after my late night pee. The hallway light alone is enough to light up every single one of those rooms for grabbing whatever you need before bed, the switch is five feet from their bedroom and I have a switch in my bedroom for it as well. So of course that couldn’t be the only light left on. Rant over
I’ve got presence sensing within one device or another in probably every room. I’ve never messed with the templates for this kind of stuff. I wrote some basic scripts a few yrs ago but since rebuilding HA from scratch (bought mini pic, tired of rpi sad burning out) a few months ago, haven’t done anything interesting. Did you write yours manually?
Currently I don’t have any mmWave sensors outside of my ecobee thermostat so I haven’t gone as far as creating lights based on presence. Currently I just use timers, adaptive lighting, and have a couple night lights using PIR sensors and a timer. I have been wanting to get some mmWave sensors but haven’t found anything that fits the bill as I want something with an ambient light sensor, mmWave sensor, temp sensor, etc. I have seen the Everything One from Everything Smart Home but at $65 each, I’d be spending a few hundred at least.
Also if you ever want to go back to your RPi, you can use an SSD as your boot drive. I have mine running off this so that I don’t have to use a crappy SD card.
The sound of trickling water is triggering to beavers. Literally. If they hear water running, they have to turn it off.
They are the ultimate dads of the animal Kingdom.

Not sure how much into electronics you are, but you could setup Home Assistant to automatically control your lights and/or use motion sensors.

Yeah, I have 500 backups in g drive, NAS, local, etc now lol
Are you using the template scripts?
