Part of the problem here I think relates to scale.
If I invite a load of friends over to my house for a party, they might be in different rooms having different conversations but they’re all my friends in my house. No one cares who I let in or kick out, certainly not either of the next groups.
Let’s say I’m part of the committee for the local community hall. We let our halls out to clubs. Some of the committee go to some of the clubs. I might not be interested in what it is, but if someone I trust says they are OK, I’m OK.
At the local University they have a lot of spaces, each managed by the respective school. Each school has a slightly different ethos. Some of them might let their space to groups that other schools wouldn’t, but it’s not their call. They share some resources but not decision making.
We’ve got this problem emerging. The decisions made by lemmyworld or other large instances are generally in service to their communities, whereas on smaller or more focused instances the instance level decisions are the same as community level decisions.
Better than that, if you are after more than one (and with GU10s, who isn’t?)
This gives you 3 bulbs and a handy remote that also works with HA.
Great answer, thank you!
Got any project details for that? A BOM, or even a link to an enclosure on things or printables?
It does! They added it a while ago, you need to tick the restore check box when you create it and it will survive reboots. It’s very clever.
Nice tutorial! You used a date time helper. I did something similar using a timer helper instead.
You set the timer for your duration, then every time you turn on/off the boiler you ‘reset’ the timer. You can then have a trigger in your automation for when the timer reaches zero. Same solution but without the need to work with templates and other ‘codish’ things.
You need Alexa Media Player
This integration will allow you to call a service that does TTS for whatever text you send it. I use it to announce when my wife gets home if I’m in the study at the back of the house. I mean, I say ‘announce’ but the message is “she’s home. Panic and tidy!”
It’s got a nice component to go with it, so setting up is easier. I particularly use it for scheduling thermostats, and find it much more user friendly. Sure I could do it with automations, but I’d either have one, massively unwieldy one with lots of states and triggers, or lots of individual ones.
