This sounds good in theory, and props to you for making it work. But I tried, and gave up. I still have some basic light automations, like turning everything off when everyone is away, but most of the lights are back to manual control. For example, I find myself not wanting the lights on quite often. I have passable low light vision, and often there's enough light through the windows to see whatever I wanted to grab, and even on the dimmest setting the bulbs could blind me. Other times tho, I'm there to do something / look for a misplaced item, and want the light. Reading books is also a good problem for presence detection based light controls - at least my paperbacks don't come with open/closed sensors. The new generation of presence sensors supposedly handles that, but I'm yet to use one that does it well. For me, "smart home" is more about controls being convinient, with a dash of very basic automations, rather than teaching a computer what you want to happen, getting increasing annoyed, then giving up and conforming to what the computer can handle.
