  • Then get creative with the sensor data. Look at the time it’s open when you shower compared to when you’re cleaning.

    Or add a door sensor to the cleaning cabinet.

    You can get a lot more out of a sensor than a boolean on/off, if you’re willing to analyse the data a bit. (Who needs a smart washing machine, if they can analyse the power usage?)

    Or add an override button for when you don’t want the moodlight. Make the most common usage the default and use manual intervention when it’s not the usual occasion.

    EDIT:
    You’ll want to be able to easily override anything like that, anyways. When there’s some kind of reason to respond quickly (some emergency for example). You don’t want to be stuck with mood light, when you accidently slip and get injured (when you’re also naked and wet).
