Last night we got home late (after our exterior lights are set to turn off), and upon detecting our presence, the exterior lights came on as expected, making it much easier to see our way into the house.
Now the problem is I made a mistake with the events and HS got stuck in an infinite loop - crashing in spectacular fashion as our lights turned on and off rapidly.
I think I now have things sorted and will hopefully be able to report back in a week saying things are working now. So I'm still in the trial phases.
To answer your other question, I purchased the IOgear GBU321 dongle, and it seems to work well enough to detect us when we get into the driveway.
Jakob: Those are all great ideas, the only thing I would recommend is to have some sort of manual override in place, for times when the phone battery dies or other scenarios. It would be very bad for someone to be locked outside in the rain.
Good luck!
