What are some home automation projects you have been working on? Recently I setup a counter for when the sump pump runs, and an alert if the pump gets stuck on.

I mainly use HA for monitoring, have only 1 automation which turns on a heating-wire when outside temp drops below 3C.

I have been slowly adding automations. The largest automation I have is motion lighting for the first floor of my home. I calculate a minimum percentage based on percentage occupancy. So the more you occupy the home, the brighter the unoccupied rooms will be. This started as a project to avoid turning on lights in the middle of the night while making bottles for a newborn. I prefer to program in Node Red.
