The best thing I’ve done recently- SMART OUTDOOR LIGHTS - Automated Routine/Timer and control via Alexa. The lights only come on in our backyard between certain hours I determined we might enjoy them, and only if the conditions are right- not on evenings that are too chilly! That’s smart, but to take it up a notch, our lights have a bedtime that I’ve set for them to auto shut off and and I don’t have to worry about it. Also, I can ask Alexa to turn off the Backyard (all smart enabled devices in my yard including the string lights) or just say goodnight Alexa which I’ve programmed to shut off all my lights by voice command. Work smarter not harder y’all! And now I’ve got the perfect environment for lounging on the patio thanks to the dimming feature. I have also linked the café, light string light poles that I used to hang these as well as the solar fence lights has shown on the far right.
