Yes, when you connect it to Alexa or Google's version. You'll instruct Alexa to turn on lights when motion is detected. To do this, you'll need either a smart switch, plug or smart light bulbs. A plug is easiest but it will simply turn on or off lights, rather than control dimming. You'd connect the smart plug with Alexa. For a smart switch, the one you pick will depend on your home wiring. With any doubt, it's worth hiring an electrician as it won't take long. Smart bulbs are sometimes tricky if you want dimming - check with your existing wall switches for compatibility. Smart bulbs could be more expensive up front but they last a very long time, are easier to install than wall switches, and allow other options such as changing color!
