Here's the ones that are liked the most by family:
- bedtime button - turns off all lights, fireplace, tvs, closes blinds, puts hub in night mode, arms alarm for night, turns on bedside lights in the master bedroom dimly to find our way to bed, reminds us through the google home to run the dishwasher
- lock all doors, turn off all lights, arm home alarm when everyone has left the house
- Pico remotes stuck to our kids beds that turn on their bedside light dimly during the night if they need to get up
- door sensors on both our kids doors that if a door is opened during sleeping hours, our google home in the master bedroom will say 'Kid A's door has opened. It is X o'clock'. In our half asleep state, we know who got out of bed and what time it is so we can cut them off at the pass and take them back to bed.
- different lighting scenes - vacuum scene turns on all lights in areas we regularly vacuum and disables motions sensors so lights stay on while vacuuming. Dishes scene turns on lights in the kitchen and dining room bright to do dishes and wipe down cabinets and dining table. Dinner scene dims lights in the dining room and kitchen to a nice dim light. Relax scene turn on living room lights dimly and turns off kitchen lights. Clean House scene turns on all the lights in the house and disables motion sensors.
- turn on kid's ceiling fans when temp in their room goes above a certain level, turns off when temp drops below a certain level
- ecolink contact sensor tied into smoke detectors through relay so get notification when smoke alarm goes off if away from home. If home, all lights would come on, furnace turns off, blinds open, door locks unlock, text the neighbors that our smoke alarm is going off, flash outside lights to draw attention
- fireplace turned on/off with button on tv remote
