for over 20 years I've had X10 home automation hardware in my house controlling the lights. Now, the controller has become intermittent. I can probably buy a NOS controller for about 90 bucks but this would make it the third controller, the second in the past three years. Time for something new!
I want something simple, no cloud, no Alexa, just something to turn four lights on at dusk and off around 11:30 pm.
I'm peripherally aware that a Raspberry Pi can control lights but have yet to fully explore that option.
Suggestions welcome.
