ok guys,
Can you guide me please? I'm new to home automation. Right now, I'm preparing my wiring. I have drawn the plans for my home security. However, I have not planned anything yet on home automation. Assuming we have a motion sensor in a room where someone forgot to turn off the light, how can we take advantage of the motion sensor so that it sends a signal and the HA software turns the light off? And are those lights special? Or is it just a device that you will add to the wires for the lights?
For the wires, since I'll be using motion sensor, wire is 18/4. What wire is needed for HA software to work?
For my security wiring plans, you can look at my other thread:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Neil
