Home Assistant, who knew home automation could be fun (except trying to integrate a nest thermostat who knew that would be the issue)
Man home assistant is such a rabbit hole. You start with automating a smart light then three years later your soldering your own custom ESP32 with a total organic volume sensor to automatically turn on the bathroom fan.
I like that idea, though most the fans are paired to lights here, very practical however!
In the two or so weeks I've had my HA live I'm almost certain its received more use from my family and I than nest has in a couple years. Frigate was very easy to get running and with some PoE cameras, no more missed events. Any pointers for doorbells and thermostats would be much appreciated
