Smart home is not about just turn on/off lights remotely. It's about do it automatically/reponding to other interactions.
i.e, when sunlight is out (in HA, you can get sunset triggers), and when there are people present in living room, turn on living room lights.

- bitdivision 3y agoI'm a zigbee fan, mostly because there's such a wide variety of devices. I almost exlusively use zigbee2mqtt [0] reference to find devices that suit me. Searching for `meter` gives a lot of options, you'd have to do more investigation to find something that supported 40A, but my guess would be that a clamp meter is likely your best option. It's also possible that you could use one of the DIN rail options in your fusebox, but I haven't looked at the current ratings.

- uoaei 3y agoI wrote a little script for my homebrew ESPHome-controlled CW/WW LED strip to automatically control color temperature based on if and where the sun is in the sky. Warm-only when the sun is down, mix of warm and cool when the sun is up with peak coolness at solar noon.
