Home automation is the residential extension of building automation.

It is automation of the home, housework or household activity.

Home automation may include centralized control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, security locks of gates and doors and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security.

Warning: Working with electricity can result in injury, property damage, or even death if it is not done properly. Please keep this in mind while assisting others. If you are not sure about what you are doing, hire a licensed professional.

Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations for motion activated outdoor lights. I have both Zwave and WiFi/MQTT-Tasmota in my setup. I'm replacing and old non-smart fixture, so the location already has 110v (US) power

Any suggestions or experiences with devices in your environment?

Depends entirely on what your use case is but personally I am doing some outdoor lighting soon and will be using dumb fixtures on a smart (lutron caseta) switch + motion sensor to trigger automations. Happy to dive in if you have questions.
