Outfitted the remaining shared spaces in my house with Lutron Caseta dimmers and switches today. Oh, and for good measure, I set up an automation to dim my lights when I start watching something on @Plex in my living room. 🤩🎉

@cleverdevil oooo fancy. Don't tell my wife, but one of the reasons I want to buy a house is so I can start outfitting it with smart home gadgets. What sorts of smart-home stuff have you got setup?

Yes! I have my lights set to turn to a certain scene when Plex starts, pauses, and stops! It's the best. Only trick is when I watch something while chopping food and then I can't see!

@cleverdevil I’ve been thinking of trying the Lutron switches. Sounds like you like them! Any hitches or hiccups?

@alans they’re nearly perfect so far. Genuinely a great product. Highly recommended 😀

@hisaac apart from the Lutrons, I also have an August Smart Lock and Smart Doorbell Cam, and Canary cameras inside and out. Oh, and I’m using Homebridge to do a few things that wouldn’t be possible just with Apple’s supported HomeKit features.

@cleverdevil Great, thanks! I have an August lock, too, and am super happy with it.

@cleverdevil Oh cool, I haven't heard of Homebridge. Maybe I’ll finally have a use for that Raspberry Pi I bought!
