I figured we could all share some of the cooler things we’ve done to get the conversation moving in here. Here are some of the automations I’m proud of and get the most use out of. Blinds and Lighting - Open and close the blinds (Ikea Fyrtur) according to the light levels outside - If a window is open, the blind will only close to 50%, but it will close automatically after the window is closed - Turn all lights off when the blinds are opened, and turn lights on in occupied rooms when the blinds are closed Websites - (Selenium) Auto login to Amazon to check on the status of my Kindle daily reading streak and notify me if I forget to read. We must keep the streak intact! - Auto categorize new transactions in YouNeedABudget and mark them as approved, as well as pull my net worth into Home Assistant - Get my most-listened to tracks and artists from Last.FM [http://Last.FM] and pull those into Home Assistant - Notify me if there are documents in my Paperless-NGx server that need to be categorized and filed Reminders - When I walk in the door, announce any outstanding Todoist tasks marked with the @alert label so I know to do it before I sit down. Examples are to change the furnace filter or Venmo my friend for Youtube TV - I run OCR on the camera feed from my garage camera to determine whether the bins are in the garage. If they are in the garage in the evening before trash day, I receive an alert Media and Torrenting - Notify me and display a badge in Home Assistant when there is a pending request inOverseerr - (Selenium) Log into my favorite private torrent tracker website from Node-RED to check whether I need to take any actions HVAC - Preheat or pre-cool the house prior to peak electricity pricing going into effect. During peak hours, auto adjust the thermostat to prevent it from running - Turn the thermostat off if there are windows open. Automatically restore previous setting (cool or heat) when all windows are closed. Misc - Node-RED monitors the status of my UPSes for my servers. If the battery drops below 50% while the power is out, it initiates graceful shutdowns of my Synology and other servers - Auto sort the Home Assistant grocery list upon adding a new item
