  • Hue is the answer - assuming you're running internet down there.

    Ideal setup would be something like:

    1. Run ethernet to the shed / office
    2. Have an access point (google wifi etc) in the shed / office
    3. Setup a hue bridge for the house
    4. Install Hue bulbs on the outside / inside of shed / office
    5. Control from app

    This is what we did for our garden office in the last house as it was used as an office.

  • This is my plan too (with one extra step)

    1. ethernet to the office
      1a. install a switch
    2. AP off the switch
    3. - 5. Hue & Sonoff & other IoT nonsense
  • True - we only needed wifi down there so just ran a Google Wifi hub directly from the socket but a switch is always handy.
