How do you go about switching the light off in the room as you leave? Do you have switches, or do you just use your phone, or is there some other way?

Haven't dabbled with HUE lighting yet, but looking into it.

You can

1 - Use the sensors, when it detects no motions after X time, it switches off. (it also switches on when it detects motion) I find these works best in corridors. It's annoying in rooms because if you sit down to watch TV and haven't moved for a while, it goes off.
2 - You set timers - it will auto come on at 6pm to 1am for example, regardless if there is anyone there or not.
3 - Your phone app
4 - A soft switch/remote, essentially on the wifi
5 - Using something like Alexa. If you have the skill, you just say "Alexa, turn bedroom light off" or "Alexa, turn all the lights off". You can even say "Alexa, turn bedroom light to red at 70%"

For my hallway and kitchen I've got them on motion sensors, you can set it to be dimmed etc. For now i've got it to go 'bright' and after 30s no motion it'll dim, then another 30s it'll go off. It's also on timers so depending on the time how bright it'll be depending how dark it is. Sensor sensitivity is limited as well so they don't turn on constantly when it is already light enough in the room.

I control my lights by phone, alexa or the hue remote (rarely). You can get proper wall switches/buttons and remotes, but as it is just me I'm fine with the phone/alexa personally.

Also have routines so they turn off at a certain time should I forget to turn them off (1.30AM). Plenty of customisation options available.

Regarding lights in the hallway - Could you configure them so when the sensor senses motion, the lights come on but slowly come on? Rather than the light just coming on fall whack :p

Edit: Also, is there much lag from when you switch the light on and off and the light actually switching on and off?

It's less blunt than a regular switch but not far off.

Much the same here, I have the hallway lights on a sensor. They come on nice and dim at night if you need to get up.

Very interested to see how this goes. I work with TV manufacturers in conformance and Hisense are a partner. We tried to convince them to send their 4k short throw laser TV "for our boardroom", but at $20,000 RRP it wasn't happening :D

I haven't seen the hisense one but probably wouldn't as considerably out of my budget!! Perhaps just convince work to buy one. Put it down as expenses
 
I'd be really interested to see how usable these are day-to-day....are they bright enough to use in a normal lit living room? I find my C9 can be too dim sometimes during the day, so it's any darker than that it still wouldn't be a viable only TV :(

I've just got it against a Matt white wall (standard cheap new build paint) with a bay window directly behind the viewing position. It's certainly clear enough to watch in bright daylight. I have a feeling it might get washed out if in direct sunlight though. Hopefully the ALR screen will sort that.
Just taken this pic.

I'll give it a few weeks and see it it's up to replacing the TV permanently. It's my first projector so getting used to the fan noise. I bought it for a cheap price so wouldn't lose much/any if I sold it on.

I've been looking at one of these for a while, care to share where you bought it from?
