I've messed around with multiple sensors before, and honestly... it's kind of a mixed bag. Sure, you might get slightly more balanced lighting, especially if you've got weird shadows or corners. But it can also get finicky—sometimes the sensors conflict, turning lights on and off randomly. It took me a while to find a sweet spot. If you're patient enough to tweak placement and sensitivity settings, it could be worth it. Otherwise, one well-placed sensor usually does the trick for me.

Honestly, agreed. I went down that rabbit hole trying multiple sensors—ended up spending way more time (and money) tweaking than actually enjoying better lighting. One decent sensor, thoughtfully placed, is usually enough... and easier on the wallet too.

Glad I'm not the only one who's skeptical about the multi-sensor hype. I experimented briefly with a more complex setup, thinking it'd give me that perfect ambiance... but honestly, it just felt like overkill. A single well-positioned sensor usually covers my needs without turning my workspace into mission control. Sometimes simpler really is better—and certainly less frustrating to troubleshoot when things inevitably go sideways.
Yeah, totally get why you'd scale back to one sensor. Did you find placement tricky at first? I spent ages repositioning mine because initially it kept triggering whenever I just walked past the room—not even going in. Now it's finally dialed in, but I still wonder if a basic timer wouldn't have been just as effective... and cheaper too. Sometimes tech solutions aren't really solutions, y'know?
Yeah, totally feel you on that. I messed around with sensor placement for days before finding the sweet spot. Honestly though, even with it dialed in, I still get those random triggers sometimes—like when my dog casually strolls past the doorway. Timers are definitely underrated; cheap, reliable, and zero fuss. Tech's great, but sometimes simpler really is better... learned that the hard way after spending way too much on smart bulbs I barely use.
