I've wanted to illuminate my kick plates for a long time, starting with my master bathroom, and rolling out to my secondary and kitchen

Finally started today, with a 100w 24v converter, and a gledopto ZigBee controller

Installation was easy, and the controller was quickly picked up. I previously installed a GFCI protected outlet under my sink, so I just plugged it into there.

I don't have a motion sensor yet, so it's just a timed automation:

Day: bright white, about 40% brightness Evening: warm white, about 20% brightness After 10: almoast amber, and about 1% brightness, just enough to pee by.

Nice one! Although i was surprised to see a wooden floor in a bathroom!

I put in cork floor in my bathroom about 16 years ago, it's held up perfectly. And now I need this kick plate mood lighting.

Agreed, they should’ve taken a lesson from the 70s and used shag carpet.
