Spotify’s daylist is something different. I haven’t been that understood by a piece of music-related software. Honestly, it’s always on point and the suggestions are always wild (but good wild). But in terms of being understood by a piece software, recently I’ve made multiple changes to automations working in our home due to finally having time to sit down and take a peak into what Home Assistant allows. And since then I had thoughts like “it’s getting too hot” or “it’s getting too dark” and at - literally at this second, HA turned on a thing because it became exactly too hot or too dark.
Doing buttons, clicking them to do a thing is obviouisly an upgrade from manually doing things, but I think I finally understood what does it mean to have “the smart home”. My current approach is that whenever something happens or just annoys me (or the wifey) - I try to either make automation at this moment or I write down what happened and what could happen. Also now I get why would I buy light sensors, air quality sensors and - most importantly - occupancy sensors. Having that additional information about room being occupied is great. Even for that simple “room is occupied == true” condition.
