I have a smart switch on the wall where you turn the porch light on. My porch is covered like a portico so very dark. Has a large overhead light over the door. So when motion is sensed, turn on porch light. You might sneak up the drive but when you come to the walk you get bathed in light. Side effect. Builder wired same switch to the sconce between the two garage doors. So if I pull in and light is on there even in daylight I know I have a package or someone was on the front porch.
