  • I have a workday routine setup to turn specific lights on for set stations. If my bathroom vanity and kitchen lights were capable of taking smart bulbs, I wouldn’t have to touch a light switch in the morning. It also means I don’t have to fumble in the dark, half asleep.

    I also have another similar routine but for when my wife gets up with the kids for school.

    Being able to let the kids keep a light on but at 1% brightness is glorious, because it’s a nightlight they can’t pull out of the wall.

    Mood lightning in not just brightness levels but also colours.

    Granted half of what I said is capable without a voice assistant.

    Also I discovered that simulated grey light is a thing and it’s awful… But I learned that because of my voice assistant.

    I’m betting your house used to have a 2nd bath or was going to get one but was abandoned. The fan was likely the bathroom 2 or possibly a range hood.

    All brown wires is definitely what’s incorrect. Hot, neutral and ground should be easily identified at a glance (black or red for hot, white for neutral, green or bare copper for ground where I am). I’ve only ever seen brown sheathing on older fabric or paper insulated wiring.

    I am not an electrician and this isn’t advice.
