For this to replace motion sensors for home use, I think it'd have to run on an Android smartwatch, and one of the ones that's slim enough that you'll actually wear it all the time.
It still wouldn't work so well, though, for basic use cases like "turn on the dimmer lights to 40% if I enter the bathroom in the middle of the night".
- qrv3w 11y agoThat's an awesome idea! I'll look into that!
- zyxley 11y agoThe closest to 'ideal' would probably be one of those fitness band form-factors that can be and is intended to be worn at all times, but I don't know if any of those can run general-purpose Android without having a terrible battery life.
