Share your favorite automations

I’ve been running HA for a while, and it’s been working well; I haven’t had to change much in a few months. That being said, it’s fun to tinker with it, and I’m curious to hear what kind of automations the rest of the community is using. What automations are you most proud of? What are your favorite? What kind of...

My favorite is a script not a automation exactly. I run it (just before I get up for bed) via dashboard button or voice command and it:

  • shuts off most of the lights and any screens around the house
  • sets the thermostat to bedtime mode
  • waits 5 minutes (time for me to get my stuff and get to bed) then
  • turn off the remaining lights outside my bedroom
  • Calls my autoremote endpoint

Auto remote then triggers a tasker profile that makes my phone

  • turn on DND
  • set media volume for sleep music and alarm volume for morning (just in case either has been change during the day)
  • set a variable that another tasker automation will see the next time I plug in my phone. At which point it will:
    • set my screen brightness below 1%
    • turn on sleep tracking

Nice. I’ve had this going a lot longer than the companion app has existed

I’d have to have taken it back at 37 to go back to a point where my body wasn’t broken, and I’m trying to decide if the prospect of being able to stand without pain is worth being a teenager again…

The problem with that is that (now that I’m in my 40s) I don’t like to be around kids for long periods of time, and have come to see anyone under ~25 as a kid. Would I be able to stand being around myself (or my new peers)?

This site will let you test different GPTs (far from all of them, but its a good list) in various ways. I particularly like the Arena, in which you get responses from 2 random models to your input, you say which you like best, and then it tells you which is which.

It’s got me considering Claude2 for local projects. I just need to revive the hardware I’d use to run it on.

Friends converted over to using snap, so now they all bring their (loopback) devices.

The lack of snowpack in the US plus ocean temps that are already 6σ over historical averages are probably going to make for an “interesting” summer. As a result, I suspect crop failures are going to get a lot more coverage this year.

HAProxy is really powerful load balancing software. Not only does it go above and beyond on features but it handles a really large volume of traffic on very little compute. For example I ran a site with 350hits/sec base traffic (that regularly bell curved up to 500hits/sec) on 4 HAProxy instances running on t3.micro EC2 instances and I was terminating TLS on 20,000 domains at HAProxy. And if you’re in a position where you need to pay for support they will bend over backward to help.

I haven’t done it myself, but I know Vimeo was one of their keynote speakers speakers a few years ago as a high profile customer.

Yellow Ledbetter doesn’t count. It’s mumbled in recordings because the lyrics change over time to adapt to whatever conflict we’re currently wasting life on.

Famous Blue Raincoat. I’ve been listening to a lot of versions and covers over the last couple weeks. Cohen’s is the best, but I’ll give shoutouts to the Jonathan Coulton and Joan Baez covers.

I wish I knew what got me started, but I can’t get it out of my head lately.

Any time you see a video of a cat backing up and saying “no no no no no” it’s because they’re watching the researcher’s hand move toward the on switch of that centrifuge.

I had a similar car, the 1990 Ford Escort Pony. It had a hamster for an engine, but it was fine because the body was a shoebox.
