I have a HK scene for "baby in bed", which plays back all the lights in the Hue room at night level. For some reason, every time my upstairs motion sensor detects movement after this scene is set, a Hue light goes to 100%. It's so annoying. I went through every scene and automation with […]

I illuminated the deck using 12v and using an LV power supply. There are LV power supplies that work with HomeKit or any other automated system would be great. I saw a post two years ago about it, but it doesn't help my situation. As soon as the power is switched on, there is an […]
