This is basically a home assistant starter kit. With the above (and an asus router and ring doorbell, both of which I'm keeping), I set up the following:
Google announce when plants need water
Presence detection for mine and mrs colm89's phone
Notify phone via telegram if the door opened when we're both out
Google announce if someone pushed doorbell
Downstairs lights on 1.5hrs before sunset
Upstairs lights on at sunset
Notify phone if downstairs lights still on when we're both out at 10.30pm with actionable buttons in the text to switch off or ignore
Notify phone if upstairs lights still on when we're both out at 11pm with actionable buttons in the text to switch off or ignore
Use xiaomi buttons to switch lights on/off (each button can do up to 5 different actions)
I think that's it...
Why am I getting rid? This is the first step in a life declutter/simplification, partially in prep for advertising our house and moving home to Ireland.
