Funny story about #homeautomation . I do a LOT of it. Lights, thermostats, even my swimming pool pump and heater. I’m good enough. Not great, but good enough. Of COURSE my #christmaslights are hooked up to #homeassistant. The outside lights come on at _sunset_ (which changes slightly each day) and they turn off at 11pm. I also have the outside lights turn on in the morning at 7:00am. I intended for them to run a little in the dark morning when a few people would be awake, and then turn off at 8:00am.
3 weeks ago, when I put up all the lights and created the automations and scenes, I forgot to write the “turn the outside off at 8am” scene. (I turn inside lights on at 7am too, but they stay on all day) I never got around to it, despite how much time I spent in front of my computer over the holidays.
So for this whole holiday season, at least 3 weeks, I have been remembering around 8am, and manually turning off the lights. It’s a single tap on the home assistant app. But I just never got around to fixing this one thing.
