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 ;)

        This one requires a little bit of python coding…hope you know how to do it

        1.Create an input_text sensor in HA for the rating 2.Install pyscript from HACS 3.Write python code to create a service by utilizing Cinemagoer library…steps here A) identify movie ID from title B) get rating for movie ID C) write rating into input_text sensor in HA 4.Set automation so that when your chromecast starts playing that the script is started with the movie name 5. Create another automation for when the rating sensor is filled to announce it via text to speech or notification on your phone
