My mother has taken a similar track, and come to find out about a quarter of her brain has died, presumably as a result of her cancer treatment. Today she’s a mind boggingly gullible person who’s fallen down every conspiracy theory hole that she’s come across.
No, I’m saying it’s something. Every time I engage with one of you you’re decrying everything he’s working on as nothing and attributing that ‘nothing’ to his entire presidency.
I once won a RPS tournament with 100 people by throwing nothing but paper, and making sure to tell each opponent that’s what i was going to do. I’m convinced people think paper is somehow weaker than rock or scissors and that’s why it’s effective. That and the mind game of telling them what I’ll be throwing. But even when the others that lost to me affirmed that I wasn’t lying people thought I was lying.
My hallway is shockingly dark when not lit, and the recessed light is so damn harsh I decided to install LED strips up in the corners. But I didn’t want to switch them, so the lights are motion controlled and conditional based on time. During the day, they’re full bright but with a nice color that’s not harsh. At night, only 6 leds light up a nice green so they don’t blast your eyes in the dark.
I have similar control over the kitchen lights but kept the recessed lighting in there. Full bright during the day, dimmed at night.
When the home alarm is triggered, all lights go full bright.
When the garage door is opened, the garage lights turn on.
When the temp in the living room is below 65 in the morning, or at noon, it kicks the heater on until it hits 70.
In the evening, when the outside temp falls below the inside temp, I get sent a message to open the windows. This only triggers in warm months because that crossover doesn’t happen in the cold months. It’s just always warmer inside than out. Similarly, in the mornings, when the temp outside becomes warmer than inside, I get an alert to close the windows. I use Aqara temp sensors on my front and back porches to grab the temps, so it’s very local and takes into account the radiant heat built up from the direct sunlight and works really well. This also has me thinking I might be able to work my contact sensors into the automations too…
I’ve got a contact sensor on my bedroom door to alert me if anyone enters while I’m not home.
My crawl space is encapsulated and I have a large dehumidifier down there. I have a smart switch connected to it so I can have some easy control and monitor power usage. I also have a temp and humidity sensor down there with alerts for if either temp or humidity change too much.
I set up LED lighting on my front porch and have HA turn it on an hour before sunset and off an hour after sunrise. I set it to different colors usually based on holidays, but have it set to a purple that I really like otherwise. Way less harsh than the white porch light.
And of course I can control nearly all the lights in my house from my phone or with Siri.
I got laid off in December and haven’t had a single god damn good lead since then. I’m looking forward to this question in any interviews I manage to land, hopefully within the next 10 fucking years.
I imagine that means my body won’t hurt and I’ll have the athleticism to do a few backflips until I’ve done them. If I don’t do them, then my body is just suddenly healthy and pain free.
I’ve been dabbling with Ubuntu for my home assistant and my Plex media server and every damn time I find myself asking ‘why isn’t there a GUI for that?!’
