Not the things that you depend on, but automations that are just for fun

Our assistant speaker tells us... "Your shit's clean" and "Your shit's dry" a few minutes after the washer/dryer stop (just using power consumption stopping). Useful I guess but generally you can hear them stop. It was more for comedic value than anything else.

I have a couch light turn on when I sit down at a certain spot on the couch after sunset at 30% using an "Everything Presense sensor" totally to play with my wave tech

My laundry automations send phone notifications to my girlfriend.

"Front load washer's got a big, wet load for you."

"Dryer's got a hot load ready for you to take."
