Recipes using this device
Motion Hallway Light
Installs a Home Assistant automation that turns a hallway or landing light on when motion is seen and off again once the space has been still for a grace period you set. Add a light sensor and it only runs after dark, add a presence sensor and it holds the light while someone lingers.
Movie Mode
Installs a Home Assistant automation that dims the lights when the TV starts playing and brings them back when it stops. Add shades to close, a soundbar to power on, a scene button to trigger it by hand, and dimmable accent lights.
Presence Room Lighting
Installs a Home Assistant automation that keeps a room's lights on for as long as an mmWave presence sensor sees someone in it, and switches them off shortly after the room empties. Add a light sensor to run only after dark, and dimmable lights that come up softly.
Recipes that can use it

Away Motion Camera Alert
Installs Home Assistant automations that watch for motion while the house is armed and send you a notification with the camera view attached. Add presence sensors to arm and disarm on their own, a siren to sound off, and lights to flash.
Door or Window Left Open Alert
Installs a Home Assistant automation that watches your door and window sensors and pushes a notification to your phone when one is left open past a grace period while nobody is home. Add lights and it flashes the room, add a speaker and it announces the warning out loud.
LG Fridge: Door Alert
Installs a Home Assistant automation that watches your LG fridge and freezer doors, straight from the ThinQ integration, and alerts you when one is left open longer than a grace period you set. Add lights and it flashes the room; add a speaker and it announces the warning out loud.
LG ThinQUnlock on Arrival
Installs a Home Assistant automation that unlocks the door when you get home, and only when the house was locked, so you are not fishing for keys with an armful of shopping. Add lights and it welcomes you into a lit hallway after dark.
