Hello everyone,
We just received a "good" tip from an acquaintance regarding electrical installations in a single-family house.
What do you think about motion sensors in the hallway/landing areas in the basement/ground floor/upper floor? Does that make sense?
--> Why?? ---> To save on double switches, since they would no longer be needed!
I generally don’t see any real disadvantages in not doing this. Have you already considered it or even planned it?
What could you potentially save? I don’t have a price for a double switch setup yet but will inquire about that soon.

In the ground floor hallway, we have a presence detector and one standard light fixture.
On the upper floor, we have a presence detector and a smart light fixture that provides dimmed lighting from 7 PM to 6 AM. Brighter lighting can be switched on at any time via remote control or app.

hampshire22 Sep 2020 15:41We have three dimmable wall lights directed at the stairs, equipped with motion and dusk sensors. The staircase is located in the open space between the sleeping mezzanine and the reading corner, leading down to the lower part of the room with the kitchen, dining, and relaxation areas. It’s easy to trip there, so: lights on.
Our dog is quite old but still uses the stairs. A bit of light also helps him, as we know.
The three lights together cost less than 200€ (about 220 USD).
When it comes to saving in the hallway—my boys never turned off the hallway light in the old house. It often stayed on all night. That doesn’t need to happen.

Since we have pets, something like that is out of the question for us.

The boxes were already installed, and behind the shallow installation layer is a solid concrete wall that also supports the slope. The electrician didn’t have many good ideas. So I took something "box-compatible" as a temporary solution. Like all temporary fixes: this will last a long time.
