Default Does anybody use Homelink?

Now that I have two cars with Homelink, I figured it might be a good time to do something with them. We don't have a garage so I'm looking at using it to turn on outside lights. Does anybody do this with theirs and what do you connect to in your home?

Do you have a Smart home? What do you use to turn on the lights now? Perhaps this will help.

Not smart, but a good wireless/wired infrastructure.

I'll check out the link. Thanks.

We use Homelink to open the garage. Never thought of turning on the home lights, not a bad idea.

I'd like to turn on/off my outside lights. Right now, if I know I'm getting home after dark, I turn them on before I leave. That's a waste of money. I just don't know what type of hub/interface I need in the house.
