Asking the collective for interior LED light on timer
Weird use case... There's a blind spot inside my house at the bottom of a staircase. That location is not easily wired to the other lights that light up the top of the stairs. I need to add a light source down there (kids won't go by themselves otherwise, that dark) that is battery powered, on when it's dark or on a timer...
Right now we rely on an Echo dot for Alexa to turn on a nearby light but it's hit and miss...
Most LEDs are motion sensitive (won't help, need light before we get in range to convinve the kiddos it's all good down there). There are a couple remote operated (hmm, second choice, losing the remote). Ideally I need one that can be programmed on a timer (ON from 6PM to 10PM regardless of motion) or worst case just when it's dark (which is most of the time). Anyone heard of such an animal ?
It's a clear miss from the remodel, trust me I would wire but it's on a different floor altogether than the starits switch, and would have to cut a lot of drywall to get there... and an LED would be cheaper than opening a window down there for light...
