Not that I've had a lightswitch in my house for a decade. They're all automated. The cats can turn them on too.


My "walking around" lights, inside and out are PIR but the light in
the bedrooms and "task lights" are on switches.
It is still fairly unusual here tho.
I started with the motion light in the kitchen after I found the wife
and daughter using the fridge light as a night light. Sometimes it
would stay open until morning. I have rope under the toe kicks and
over the train track so you can see enough to get a drink or a quick
snack.


I have a string of red LED holiday lights in the hall. These are called
"Lilly's Lights", after a small cat I used to have. She often slept in
the hall are the lights were to avoid stepping on her.
