## Notes

- All motion sensors are Aqara Motion Sensor P1 devices connected via Matter (Aqara Camera Hub G3 or Hub M2 bridges).
- These automations do not include auto-off timers — lights stay on until manually turned off or a separate time-based rule applies. Consider adding time-limited auto-off for energy saving.
