Why I Love This 'Hidden' Smart Lighting Feature (& How To Set It Up)

When people think of smart lighting, they usually think of the obvious: full color (RGB) bulbs. Setting rooms to bright green, or dancing to strobe lighting effects.

But I actually prefer a less discussed smart lighting feature: motion sensitive lighting. This is simple to set up, and it feels like something out of sci-fi.

I discuss how to achieve this simple-but-powerful functionality in today's video.

I'm having a little trouble at the moment?...a little i mean loads.
If you can solve & if you can you'd probably have to walk 🚶‍♀️ me through it. Virgin Med..Super hub 3 it has a built-in router I digress it is @hi# I'm sure you've heard about it before. I've just purchased a Reolink e1 outdoor 5mp the top e1. Vm shub3 is awesome at running 🏃‍♀️ 2 mobile phones and a tablet off the signal is amazing for all those devices lol...if you can tell me which router to buy & set it up and just use the VM SHUB3 as a modem so I can get this little security camera running 🏃‍♂️ I would be the happiest man in the uk 🇬🇧.
I mean a 2bed semi 2up 2down house isn't very big running what I've already said off the VM SUPER HUB 3.Thank You in advance if you can my friend. 🙄👌
