  • A few automations are running in my house:

    • Turned the nightstand light into a wake-up light, which distinguishes between weekdays and weekends,
    • Kitchen light turns on and off based on sunset and midnight with random offset respectively,
    • Garbage collection notifications,
    • Introduced an extra (wireless) light switch in the hallway, which controls a Shelly connected to the light. The original light switch is still intact, however it is positioned at an unconvenient location.

    In the coming period I want to:

    • Automate the shutters and combine that with a light sensor.
    • Introduce a routine that starts the washing machine and/or drying during the day based on the amount of incoming solar power. Not sure yet how to do this, since the washing machine has a physical start button via touch.
