Oh, and I'm watching this Home Assistant thread too: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/miele-home-miele-mobile-component/64508/
So I can add automations... i.e. switch to a dining/eating lighting mode 5 minutes after all cooking is done.
Sounds ridiculous I know, but my flat has a load of these conveniences and they are incredible to live with. i.e. if I leave the house any lights that were on turn off, heating goes into eco, etc. The downstairs light switch at the entrance has a strange modality... turning on lights actually only turns on the stair and hall lights, but turning off lights turns off all lights.
So I am gradually experimenting with adding automations that make the house appear to anticipate needs and then do things. It's going really well... the one I'm working on at the moment is a "Every Saturday I go for a walk, aside from turning of all lights and enabling security... also hoover the entire floor and run the dishwasher whilst I'm out". I go for walks at different times, so this should be done by a geofence.
The autodosing dishwasher means that as long as the door is closed this can be done.
