Hey everyone, I just wanted to make a quick post to say hi and inspire other lurkers to join in on the communities they love.

I come from Home Assistant and Home Automation on Reddit and figured my low post count on those communities wouldn't help grow these communities unless I get my hands dirty and participate where I can.

Anyways I am happy to be here and I guess I'll end off with asking what everyone else is using for their home automatons?

I am in the process of building this in my system. I want to add a couple of extra features. such as minimum run time, the ability to run a few minutes each hour over night (for skimming) and some other bits an pieces.

For three years we've made something out of wood for our holiday decorations. We've made a tree, a star and last year a reindeer. But now I'm running out of ideas.

The new thing needs to be big enough to be visible, and be easy enough to make so my kids kan help (as that is the main idea).
