Philips Hue outdoor sensor with Hue compatible bulbs and a Hue hub (zigbee) has proved to be very reliable but pricier than cheaper Wi-Fi stuff

All of my other downstairs and outside lights have been Hue for some time, it was just finding a decent solution for the downstairs cloakroom where I used a Tapo Wi-Fi no neutral switch previously. I have found all Tapo stuff to be pretty good, but their light switches, Motion sensors, and some...

Thanks for that , will take a look

Nothing there
