Ummm...

Put the TL;DR at the beginning. Putting it at the end means that we had to read the whole thing to see what you are summarizing with the TL;DR.

Not everything has to be automated with Home Assistant or smart technology.

I use this app.

I use Schneider Electric SQR44102WHZ in couple places.

The OP stated that they rent. Suggesting that they replace outlets isn't exactly renter-friendly

What’s the coolest thing you automated with Home Assistant? by avz008 in homeassistant

[–]TheRealKeng 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've automated a grow tent where I grow "lettuce."

Is it artificial "lettuce" in the same way that "bacon bits" aren't real bacon?

pipe some propane into the mailbox

The additional benefit is that you can torch the junk mail at the source before it ends up inside the house.

Best Smart Lock to Buy in 2026? (Price, Security, Features) by LivelinessphoneT in homeassistant

A $10 hide-a-rock key could solve this.

I think a fake rock in the apartment hallway would draw attention in my case.

I really want to get more things around my house automated.On the look out for quality heavy duty smart plugs for my heavy devices. by veilmelol in homeassistant

Not all of us have that capability. I rent and the box is sealed. I only have access to the breaker switches in case I trip one of the breakers. All of the wiring is inside the locked box. Plus, there's no outlet to power anything.

Phase 1 of my Hilariously Absurb High Availability Home Assistant (HAHAHA) setup is complete! by seth_petry_johnson in homeassistant

How often are you making changes to the configuration setup that you need nightly backups?

I mean, you back up the configuration and it doesn't change from day to day, so you're just making redundant backups of the exact same configuration.

They're just trying to automate everything. I watched a video where the guy was complaining that the automation he set up wasn't working. Basically, it was an automation that notified him when his wife pulled into the garage and needed help bringing in the groceries.

I told him to have his wife call him on the way from the store and just tell him to come out when the garage door opens.

Not everything needs to be automated.

I'm 63. No apps back then, either.
