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?
I think my favorite “automation” is actually one of the most simple. There’s a button next to my garage door I press when leaving the house. It just shuts down all the things I want off. No lights lights left on I know the doors are locked etc
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.
