Broadly speaking, I have four different styles of controllable lights around my house:

• Lifx
• Arlec Bulbs
• Regular down-lights switched by Arlec outlets
• Regular lights switched by Sonoff switches

About half the lights in the house a traditionally switched, with the other half controlled through Home Assistant. Whilst it would be great to have every light controlled by hass (for example to turn all the lights off whilst away), the decision to automate a light has mainly been driven by other desired effects.

The lighting set-ups I am most proud of are:

• Entry light switch by alarm door sensor
• Master bedroom lights varied by time of day
• Dinning room lights fade up/down
• Dinning room Christmas light pattern
