That’s what is holding me back.

Battery operated decorations (alien.top)
 

Use case: Christmas village powered by AA and AAA batteries.

Question: is there any way to automate these items? The only way I can think of a method to do this would be to modify where each items switch is located and wiring in a remote of some sort. But I’m just trying to find a less invasive method if possible, but I’m not holding out a bunch of hope…

Is there a device for this use case? (alien.top)
 

I was curious if there is an automation device that can listen for a given cue like say the buzzer on a washer or dryer and use it to send notifications? I don’t even know what to call it to search for it on google…

Is there a way to leverage a ring camera as a motion sensor to set off turn on a light? (alien.top)
 

I have a basement with a single ring camera, and hue lights. I would like to set it up so that if there is movement in the vicinity of the camera that it will kick off an event to turn on the lights and after a stretch turn them off. Is this something someone has done or similar? Or am I heading down a rabbit hole?
