Home appliance and refrigerator

An appliance comprising:

• a cabinet that defines a storage space;
• a door configured to open and close at least a portion of the storage space, the door including a light source;
• an illuminance sensor disposed at the cabinet or the door and configured to detect an illuminance around the appliance;
• a user detection sensor disposed at the cabinet or the door and configured to detect a proximity of a user from the appliance;
• and
• a controller configured to control the light source of the door to change from a first state to a second state based on the user detection sensor detecting the user within a reference distance, and
• wherein the controller is configured to:
• based on an illuminance value detected by the illuminance sensor being greater than or equal to a reference illuminance value, set a first reference distance as the reference distance;
• and
• based on the illuminance value detected by the illuminance sensor being less than the reference illuminance value, set a second reference distance as the reference distance, the second reference distance being greater than the first reference distance.

• a controller configured to control the light source of the door to change from a first state to a second state based on the user detection sensor detecting the user within a reference distance,
• wherein the controller is configured to:
• based on a current time and an illuminance value detected by the illuminance sensor, determine an operation mode of the appliance, wherein the operation mode of the appliance includes a first operation mode, a second operation mode, and a third operation mode,
• based on (i) the current time corresponding to a first time range and (ii) the illuminance value corresponding to a first illuminance range, set the operation mode of the appliance to the first operation mode, and
• based on (i) the current time corresponding to a second time range and (ii) the illuminance value corresponding to the first illuminance range, set the operation mode of the appliance to the third operation mode of the appliance.
