      The porch lights in question are actually string lights, and I just assumed that the power outlet they’re plugged into was too deep on the porch for a light sensor to be reliable. I could definitely be wrong, though.

        There are separate light sensors.

        The point of automation is that it doesn’t matter where anything is, they all can talk to one another.

          Oh, yeah. I think if it was a problem I was willing to spend any more money on than I already had, I could’ve potentially ended up there.
