+Many smart light platforms include an internal control system. This includes Lifx and Tasmoto, with varying levels of sophistication. Features range from basic on/off schedules, through to advanced brightness/shade variation throughout the day.
+By utilising the built-in system, or even external control from Hass, lights may be scheduled to be on when you need them, and off when you don't.
+Examples of areas where this could be useful area:
+  * Main living spaces
+  * Outdoor security lights
+  * Passage ways
