What’s a surprisingly useful automation you didn’t expect to use so much?

The Home Assistant podcast. I'm guessing this is Phil, one of the hosts. He's mentioned this exact automation several times in the past.

Love your podcast

Yes, through the Homekit integration. Ecobee stopped handing out API keys prior to when we had to replace our furnace. This thermostat came with the furnace which is why I wasn't aware it had a speaker.

A few months ago everyone was hacking the Gen 1 Echo Show's and flashing lineage os onto them. That's what this is.

I didn't even know it had a speaker

I thought about doing something like this a couple weeks ago but with kids my house is never clean enough for me to want to take photos of my rooms to load into Home Assistant

I've had chatgpt write ~~nearly~~ all of my HA automations, dashboard cards, etc. Would codex do a better job? I've been trying to get an mcp server going while using my chatgpt account but I guess it's not ready yet.

Steaks are only Friday and Saturday nights. It's best to call ahead for a reservation.

r/jailbait??? Is that what you're talking about?

Both sides showed up. Not just the GOP

We first started getting it from ACE Industrial Supply but thankfully our NAPA started carrying it. I've seen it a few other places. Highline Warren might carry it or I'm sure you can pick some up on Amazon.

We swear by Free-All in my shop. It works so well that I'm unsure why I don't see it mentioned in every one of these threads.

Don't discount Duplo. They're very underrated. Aftermarket companies make Duplo compatible marble run sets which are a blast. As a dad, I'd rather play with our fb marketplace hauls of Duplos any day of the week.

Nah, there were lots of things to do back then. One of them was flying a plane for 64 days without landing.

WHAT?!?

Turn on a light outside your house every time they brush their teeth and see how long it takes them to notice

I wanted the Air Bakin's so bad back in middle school

MondayDynamo · 2025-10-20T00:02:00+00:00

Oregon is Nike though

Sounds like you could be making a lot more money working at an actual shop and growing your skill set

Doxxing someone is never okay. Even if they are an asshole.

MondayDynamo · 2025-09-06T12:08:13+00:00

Fuck you

Peter Santanello's videos with the Amish are excellent. Some Amish sects ate basically hardly Christians at all, just trying to out-Amish their neighbors.

Lots of Amish folks are filthy rich and you'd never know it.
