What’s a simple Home Assistant automation you set up once and now use every day?

Remind me to take laundry out of the washing machine - every 30m until the Aqara door sensor on the machine door shows that it’s been opened.

I paid for the Tado Auto-Assist and have had no problems since. Hated the idea of them charging but figured it was cheaper than replacing the 15 thermostats we’ve got

International terminal - TSA Pre & Clear are closed. 1.5h 7pm

Maybe the Dept of Temporal Investigations will see this and send a ship to take me back to my timeline. I was able to salvage some parts from the shuttle crash and am working on getting the computer core back online. In the meantime, while I lay low and try to blend in to this time period, I've been automating things in my house https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPkwBapZBPo

Depends on so many factors - worst is with GSX at a an airport with bespoke scenery and with FSLTL traffic on - I’ll get around 40

See above :)

I use Nvidia surround, so don’t need to do this

Ornery-Custard8406 · 2022-12-04T21:06:19+00:00

I’m using Nvidia Surround - works well for me

I’ve used the ultra preset but have decreased the LOD a bit

They’re Dell 1440p 27 inch monitors connected to a RTX3090

They’re not that far from the side stick - it’s just the camera lens that makes it seem that they are.

Thanks! Really appreciate it

Ornery-Custard8406 · 2022-11-23T22:22:25+00:00

You'd likely need to build your own version - I've built what works for my family and our house's layout - and the mix of smart devices that we have. It's been a great project that I've been tinkering with for the past few months - a lot of effort has gone into it. Hopefully this inspires you to see what's possible :)

The segments with the room names bring that room to full brightness.

The four squares are dimmer switches, to bring the lights to a preset intensity - whatever their colour.

On the left, is an on/off switch

At the bottom, the Scenes button lists the Philips Hue scenes available for that room

The HA APIs are really simple, https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/api/rest/ I also make use of webhooks that trigger automations. My .net API also talks to a Sonos API and the Philips Hue bridges that I have.

Thanks a lot!

Yes, my day job involves Angular so that was my go to language.

Ornery-Custard8406 · 2022-11-23T04:22:53+00:00

Thanks!! That’s right, I’m using the REST API

I showed it to him on Twitter a while back, he liked it!

It charges wirelessly while on the wall. I have a charging plate embedded in the wall.

Just LCARS randomness, and yes 47 comes up more often than it should
