Arguably, I find automations make a smart home truly smart rather than perks like voice control do. What are your favourite automations running at home?

    In general, I thought schedule automations would be the most convenient. This is pretty much only true for things that have to happen at a certain time, like waking up on work days. Other than that, I was surprised to find that buttons are the superior experience, if you can locate them conveniently. That and a good mobile dashboard also with lots of buttons.

      I have another favorite button based automation. Pressing the bottom on my lamp on my send if the bed turns off my light. Double pressing the button turns off the light in my wife’s side. Hers does the same, but reversed. Amazing for when she falls asleep with the lights on. Highly recommend.
