Yes, as I said, timers and motion sensors is another way to go. I
have done that in other areas. If I'm working under the car one
evening, I really don't want the light to go out. Then I'd have to
crawl out in the dark and flap my arms like a bird to trip the
sensor. I don't think that would be best for this location.

<dd>I find that lights and other things keep getting left on in my <br>
<dd>garage/shop that should be turned off. If I leave the garage
door <br>
<dd>open, I get notifications on my phone from my opener. I'm
looking <br>
<dd>for something like that for my lights. I can use something
like a <br>
<dd>smart bulb or smart plug on a circuit controlled by a wall
switch. I <br>
<dd>can see if the smart device is alive or if power to it has been <br>
<dd>cut. I can also replace that wall switch with a smart
switch. I can <br>
<dd>then see the status of that switch. What I don't seem to be
able to <br>
<dd>do is tell it to send me a notification if the light has been on for
<br>
<dd>more than an hour. I have looked at a few smart switches,
smart <br>
<dd>bulbs and smart plugs. Obviously, I haven't checked them
all.  None <br>
<dd>seem to support doing this. I thought maybe IFTTT would help,
but I <br>
<dd>haven't figured out how to do it. Do any of you have any <br>
<dd>ideas? Also, I know I could use timers, motion sensors, etc to
<br>
<dd>control things. That would be another way to go. Right
now, I just <br>
<dd>want a notification based on being turned on for an amount of
time. Thanks.<br><br>
