I installed directional fixtures on the high walls in the upstairs, triggered by a motion sensor in the living room. It appears the wall switch sensors require upwards of 60 watts of load to function properly. I'd prefer to use a security sensor because of their greater range and daylight sensitivity, however they have to drive an even greater load. Hopefully somebody will solve this, given the prevalence of cfls and leds.

How I Use Home Assistant: Part 1 - My Setup ยท vNinja.net

 I've been running [Home Asssistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/) (HA) in my network for well over a year now, and it's primary use case has been connecting devices from different ecosystems into one management interface.
