lights

This post is very much related to my previous post -- how our kid now excitedly turns our lights on and off from wall switch. Before the phase we are now living through, our lights were managed either automatically or through Cozify app, so we could put whatever scene would be suitable on, to turn on multiple lights with the brightness level and color we want.

Let's get back to the roots of this blog for a moment -- to monitor what's happening in our home.

To fully understand what's happening in this blog post, I'll explain the morning routine of our 3+ year girl. 

Over the past few weeks, when she wakes up some time after 06:00 before us, she comes out from her room and turns on our living room ceiling light from the wall switch. That light of course is an IoT light bulb, a Philips Hue, so I get to graph that nicely with Zabbix.

Can you control your lights with Zabbix? Of course you can!

As I told during my Zabbix Summit 2023 speech, there will be a blog series about how I control my home with Zabbix. Let's start with how I control my home office lights -- or any light connected to our Cozify -- with it.

First of all, in Cozify I have the office light (Philips Hue) like this.
