I've wanted to illuminate my kick plates for a long time, starting with my master bathroom, and rolling out to my secondary and kitchen

Finally started today, with a 100w 24v converter, and a gledopto ZigBee controller

Installation was easy, and the controller was quickly picked up. I previously installed a GFCI protected outlet under my sink, so I just plugged it into there.

I don't have a motion sensor yet, so it's just a timed automation:

Day: bright white, about 40% brightness Evening: warm white, about 20% brightness After 10: almoast amber, and about 1% brightness, just enough to pee by.

Got to be a symptom of end-stage capitalism.

The irony that you use a device that's way more expensive than OP's lovely project to write this comment...

That’s not irony.

It also assumes I paid anything for this iPhone 7…which I didn’t.

But that argument is nonsense, anyways. Apparently you have to be a caveman or you can’t criticize anything? That would be pretty convenient for you.

?

Total project cost was $30, parts from Aliexpress, and its because i love to tinker

Well, I did say “got to be”. Just an observation…I obviously don’t know if this was necessary or useful.

You did something. Now someone on the Internet is mad. Stop doing things that make you stand out. Don't you know the rules of the pit?
