We would like to install a few stairway spotlights and are wondering about the best way to control them. Should they be switched manually with two-way switches at the top and bottom of the stairs, or with motion sensors or presence detectors?
With our floor plan, it wouldn’t be a problem to install three separate light switches at both the top and bottom of the stairs (one for the main light upstairs, one for the stair spotlights, and one for the light downstairs—all wired as two-way switches), but is that practical? Or would it be better to control the stairway spotlights with motion or presence sensors?

For example, in my kitchen I have a wall-mounted control panel (90x120mm (3.5x4.7 inches)) with 4 rocker switches and 17 functions that can be activated manually (without reading glasses). Additionally, as a helpful feature, the display shows what function is triggered each time a button or rocker is pressed.
In practice, only about 7 of these functions are manually used occasionally, while the rest are automated to the point that no manual intervention is needed, though the option is available. (15 functions are used daily)Then please also accept all those who want just a simple switch without having to repeatedly close a security gap via software in the home automation system.

Of course, you can always look at the mini display, but then I might as well use labeled push buttons for my switches.
It’s mostly a matter of personal preference – everyone has their own taste.

The worst part is that automation is so "short-lived," meaning what is popular today might not be supported tomorrow.
Motion detectors: pets... then the furniture gets rearranged, and suddenly the sensor’s detection beam no longer fits...
No, everyone to their own taste: I’m going with a switch!
