I like that this method integrates everything in the machine itself. Not sure if I’m confident opening the machine myself, but I will definitely keep this option in mind. Thanks!
Turned the nightstand light into a wake-up light, which distinguishes between weekdays and weekends,
Kitchen light turns on and off based on sunset and midnight with random offset respectively,
Garbage collection notifications,
Introduced an extra (wireless) light switch in the hallway, which controls a Shelly connected to the light. The original light switch is still intact, however it is positioned at an unconvenient location.
In the coming period I want to:
Automate the shutters and combine that with a light sensor.
Introduce a routine that starts the washing machine and/or drying during the day based on the amount of incoming solar power. Not sure yet how to do this, since the washing machine has a physical start button via touch.
