Things that do well for me outside during the summer but inside during the winter:
Jade plant, amaryllis in mostly full sun, but with afternoon shade
Echeverias love the full sun in the summer
Rubber plant, Fiddle leaf fig, draceana live on my front porch during the summer. They get bright shade, but full afternoon west-facing sun.
I used to have phalaenopsis orchids that I kept in the bright shade at the back of my porch. They never got direct sun and loved it there.
Last year I took my begonias that live on the front porch inside, and they all survived with minimal attention from me and only a few rays of light from the grow lights where all of the coleus were hogging the shelf space.
@JB I think your best bet is to put the plants in as bright shade as you possibly can without subjecting them to direct sunlight. Most houseplants are happy there. Safer to put them in the shade, where they may get leggy, than in the sun where they could get fried.
