My HomeKit devices:
- Several Hue bulbs (color, ambiance, and white)
- Several Hue motion sensors
- Two Hue taps
- Hue dimmer
- Hue bridge (square one for HomeKit in use; older round one no longer used)
- Netatmo Healthy Home Coach
- Eve Room
- Eve Energy
- Eve Weather (unfortunately broke down recently)
- Two WeMo switches (via Homebridge)
- Third party Home App
- Apple Watch / Siri
- Apple TV4 for automation and remote control
Hue is indeed very nice! Great way to start if you are new to this.
Some automations I enjoy:
- Lights turning on at sunset
- Lights turning on when I get home after sunset
- Lights slowly dimming at night to get me ready to go to bed
- Lights slowly getting brighter (like a Wake-Up light) to gently wake me in the morning (though it can’t compete with the real thing)
- Lights turning on at darker places when I get there (motion)
- Lights turning off when I leave home in winter mornings
- Turning on/off multiple lights with a single tap
Sometimes I feel like being the main character of Her when I “wish Siri good night” to turn off the lights and other devices at night…
