Dr Footleg (he/him)Today I extended my #HA learning with entity grouping, helpers and smart bulb switches. My hot water can now be automated via a Zigbee smart switch and is scheduled to run in the night on the cheap car charging tarrif we are on, which is preferable right now to running the oil powered boiler since heating oil more than doubled in price. My office lights are now dimmable and the motion sensor I use for the stairs now turns on the light at the top as well as the one at the bottom.
I've now got ToDo lists set up for all the bin days. If I forget to put out the bin then my office lights will flash for 15 seconds every 5 minutes in the colour of the bin that needs to be put out, until I mark the task done. #HA
MisterMaker@drfootleg You should put vibration sensors on the bins so you know when you forgot and when they are emptied. https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005008923518552.html?spm=a2g0n.productlist.0.0.507efMk5fMk5PX&browser_id=57038c87946e443eab3cdba176ddd8fb&aff_trace_key=0541f9bc86104debb1e2162de3b12ce9-1774204802642-02962-_Dl2q9cj&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=nbrhdfocavgsxzgw19d36a3445cd6f91ad21deba41&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22order%22%3A%225816%22%2C%22spu_best_type%22%3A%22price%22%2C%22eval%22%3A%221%22%2C%22fromPage%22%3A%22search%22%7D&pdp_npi=6%40dis%21EUR%219.76%214.49%21%21%2176.07%2134.99%21%402103868817747381627644489e9b7b%2112000047226882538%21sea%21NL%210%21ABX%211%210%21n_tag%3A-29910%3Bd%3A6f06aeb%3Bm03_new_user%3A-29895&algo_pvid=b7122143-5359-4862-82c4-8ea019034f8a&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3A%7Cx_object_id%3A1005008923518552%7C_p_origin_prod%3A
