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.

Have many automations, the ones I am proud of

  • making my vacuum robot really smart (cleanse when not home, tell me when to change mop, refill water
  • kitesurf forecaster, tell me for the surf spots in my region where wind is from right angle and strength
  • laundry forecaster, check the electricity cost forecast and tell me if now is s good time to make my laundry
  • movie rating, whenever I switch on tv and watch something via Chromecast tell me the imdb rating so that I don't waste my time with bad movies
  • recently, use rhasspy in combination with piper to have a good sounding text to speech engine...i call him Jarvis
  • music follows me automatically around in the house, smart setup of Sonos and motion detectors
  • shopping announcer, my better half and I we use the shopping list, I connected it to openstreetmap, now, whenever I am in a supermarket I get a notification on my phone what to buy
  • just some nice ideas ;)

Oh, I really like the movie rating Automation. Simple, yet incredibly useful!
