With the long winter evenings settling in, this seems like the perfect time to talk about smart lighting tricks. Has anyone tied their lights to motion or weather triggers in a way that actually feels useful or just plain cool?

Maybe kitchen lights that warm up when the outside temperature drops or entry lights that activate when someone walks in covered in December rain. Share your most creative setup so far this month.
 
We tied entryway lights to motion with a warmer color temp after sunset. Nothing fancy but it makes coming home feel nicer during cold evenings. It also helps when juggling bags and kids. Simple setup but very useful.
