Home Automation Part 3
My Home Assistant automations keep growing, more so in number than in complexity. In the last 8 months I’ve added some new sensors and done some silly stuff with them:
- a vibration sensor counts how many times the cats come and go and then announces it
- a contact sensor announces when the mail has arrived
- and I get notified if some cabinets are opened
We’re not a family that shares phone locations with one another, but I was able to set up a text variable that updates my location when my phone connects to wifi at a few common places I might be: home, work, driving, etc. The location change automation triggers on wifi network change and maps a few known SSIDs to their associated locations. This gets displayed on our family dashboard thing.
