I would find it really great to hardly have to operate any light switches in the house anymore and to have "soft" lighting. In other words: there are motion or presence detectors (infrared?) in the room, and as soon as someone is nearby, the light is gently dimmed up. As soon as no one is in the room anymore (+ about 1 minute), the light is gently dimmed down.
In the USA (120V) there is a switch called "Lutron Maestro LED Dimmer Switch with motion Sensor" for this. It can do all that, and even remembers the last set dimming level. Does anyone know something similar for the European power grid that doesn’t cost a fortune?
I have already considered building it myself using Arduino & co, but especially dimming LEDs at 240V is not exactly simple.
