If you want just auto light switch, without fancy wifi or whatever, you can do this:

 

1. Install a cheap PIR switch like this one.

You can adjust lighting and timing.

 

2. Connect to the lights you want to switch on. You need to do wiring.

I use cheap Ikea wall lamp with LED bulbs.

i have wanted to fix these wifi switches before i went overseas previously ... but after reading sme unfavourable comments, i decided not to.

 

one main problem is the connectivity ... unless you using VPN, else its 50/50 you can get a WAN connection. At home with wifi is still ok but when you go outdoors, then see how liow. I don't really know how it works but that's the feedback i read.

 

however, if you have $23 to spare, then get a Orbivo to try out and see if it works for you.

The PIR switch works very well.

 

I have 2 of them.

 

Installed in the living room:

1. Anyone who opens the door will trigger the light. Since it's LED bulb, you can turn on as long as you want without consuming much power. Also acts as a security. A thief who tries to come in will be surprised by the light going on and may just leave if he's not sure what other traps lay before him.

 

2. On the stairwell:

Lights up for safety in the darkness.

 

3. You can also install in the bathroom, if you just want to pee in the middle of the night for 1-2 mins, without fumbling for a light switch.

 

And they are cheap.

 

But need a bit of work to run the wires or you can pay an electrician to install them.
