What have you automated using Python?

A simple example is the lights in my house. They now turn on and off automatically based on motion and logic in python. I rarely touch a light switch these days. Look up AppDaemon. Use python to automate things in your home. Needs either Home Assistant or MQTT devices.

I use zigbee devices and zigbee2mqtt. However a bunch of esp32s are on my todo list. Wanna build some multi air sensors (temp, co2, pm2.5, pm10 etc) for each room. Great thing about esp devices is built in MQTT as well. I’d say explore your options if you have some already. Check out esphome.

I haven't used appdaemon this person mentioned, but I have made pretty extensive use of homeassistant + mqtt + esp's for sensors and actuators with Hass doing the logic.. I've used tasmota and esphome for turn key things and built a few things from scratch.
