My favorite automation that I currently use is: If someone is standing in front of my entrance door for longer than 10 seconds without ringing the doorbell, my entryway sonos speaker will play one of the wav files from the "big dog" folder randomly and repeat that every 10 seconds until the doorbell is rang or untill that someone has left. The "big dog" folder has 30-ish recordings of my good boy (rottweiler Carlos who passed away last year) barking and growling.

Home assistant has been great for me. I run it in a virtual machine in my homelab. I've barely scratched the surface with automation but one of the most useful things I've done is control a WLED indicator light on my office door... if my laptop microphone is active, the light automatically turns red to let my family know I'm on the phone.

Hey! I helped write the unifi traffic rule integration and got it merged into HA a few months ago. It's awesome to see it being used!

more people need to know about this because companies really have us out here thinking we need to agree to their privacy policy to use devices we paid for and own!

My most useful automation aside from lights is the laundry room. When humidity goes up (a sign of bringing wet clothes), the radiator goes on full and the dehumidifier turns on, and then it turns off the heat and dehumidifier goes off. The radiator is 50 years, only changed the thermostat to a zwave thing, and the dehumidifier has no smart features so it's just controlled by a smart power switch. It saves a ton of energy automatically turning off the things when the clothes are dry.

The correct title for this video: "I'm lacking ideas for content, so I decided to spend time and money solving a problem that could actually be solved by simply closing the door"
