Description

To make most of this kit, you should get:

  • 1 x Smart Home Hub. There is a smaller model that should work well if you are on a tight budget.
  • 1 x Dimmer Bulb for each light that you want to dim. I recommend this for bedrooms and areas you may need to visit late at night. The bulbs come in a pack of 8, which should do 2-4 rooms.
  • 1 x Relay Switch for each room that does not require a dimmer and has more than 2 bulbs. Living room and dining room are good examples. Be sure to get the Zigbee model so it will easily connect to the hub.
  • 1 x Presence Sensor per room

Connect all of the bulbs, switches and sensors to the Hubitat Elevation. Use the Room Lighting or Rule Machine app in Hubitat to create your automations.
