My porch light sometimes gets left on and annoys my very nice neighbor. It’s on a schedule but sometimes someone turns it on after the scheduled off time and forgets to turn it off. Is there a way to give her access to that switch only? I am using Kasa wifi switches and Alexa in the rest of the house. Thanks.
If time between X:XX PM and Y:YY AM and light has been on for more than 15m —> turn light off.
“Also, if it’s bothering your neighbor, you may want to revisit the fixtures you’re using”
THIS - big time
light trespass is a major issue and illegal in most jurisdictions worldwide. In the UK it’s classified as a “statutory nuisance” and dealt with under the Environmental Protection Act 1990
OP needs to fix the throw of the light or risk his local authority (council) issuing an order which gets extremely expensive to ignore
my neighbors never complained but i had flood lights on all corners of the house, pendant lighting for the front and back porch, sconce lighting by the overhead garage doors.
pretty shitty with a lot of light pollution in every direction…
swapped everything to dimmable recessed lights. much much better.
