Outhouse lighting

[jcallaghan]

Background

I have a small outhouse where I keep our bikes and other garden stuff. Until recently I've had a small USB charged LED light in there for when I needed to find something. I recently found an electric spur which I fitted an outdoor socket too.

Objective

Install a light that is powered by the outdoor socket and create an automation to turn the light on and off when the door contact sensor is open and closed.

Ingredients

• [x] Existing door contact sensor - Smartthings multipurpose sensor
• [x] Hue smart bulb - E27 white
• [x] Plug based inspection light fitting
