Several good ideas to consider.
I'm leaning towards the Ring CCTV floodlight with manual siren for the back garden to replace a motion sensor floodlight that has seen better days. It's quite expensive so not yet fully committed.
A couple of smart plugs for indoors to switch lights on and off may also be on the cards.

With the smart plugs for lights, try not to have them coming on and off at exactly the same time every day.0
