a) someone in the household takes on the hobby, errrr I mean management of it or b) it starts to need attention and someone in the household unplugs/circumvents it .... It's Autumn, the leaves are starting to fall, Winter is looming...time to ponder your immortality :rofl:. Hey, it's a reasonab…

I've started an internally hosted wiki for the purpose of documenting all my home automation, homelab, and general network infrastructure. I've got a friend who has the skills in order to help manage things as needed - but without the documentation it would be a real hassle for them. It also helps …

These aren't killer cases like for example, locking/unlocking your front door but- I just got done setting up a simple app to run some remote outdoor solar DC lighting off a DC relay that I will manually set to active from T-Giving through New Years. I am weeks away from manually shutting down…

[image] 672southmain: Right here. I mentioned this a year ago in this forum. And I remember reading it. Lol. My wife talks to Alexa to make things happen. That is the extent of her interaction with Hubitat. She has told me a number of times that if I die she is getting somebody in to rip it …

Considering my wife is significantly more proficient in logic than I am, I imagine my HE would be managed better than ever. At the moment she realizes I enjoy the hobby so she leaves it alone and let's me struggle through particularly difficult rule creation instead of just telling me the most effic…

[image] steve.maddigan: o Being I'm 78 years old now, and my wife is 72, I know she will not be interested in keeping the automatons going. I expect my C4 would be down within 3 weeks at the longest. (Another reason for me to move to the C5/C7 devices which don't seem to require periodic re…
