Hi everyone! I recently upgraded my home lighting to a smart system on a budget and wanted to share the steps:

Choose affordable smart bulbs: Brands like Wyze or Sengled are great budget options. Set up a smart hub (optional): If you’re going for a cohesive ecosystem, consider hubs like Alexa or Google Home. Install and connect: Replace your old bulbs, connect them to your Wi-Fi, and use the corresponding app for setup. Automate: Use routines or schedules for energy-saving and convenience. Let me know if you’ve tried something similar or have any questions!

I don't underatand how any schedule would save energy over my current method of simply turning on lights when I'm in a dark room and turning them off when I leave.

Surely a schedule would have them on more. Do you leave lights on in empty rooms?
