Last night before bed I was tweaking the Master Bedroom Fan Rule, which sets fan speed to various temps. Well, unbeknownst (is that spelled right?, is that even a word?) to me. I put a NOT condition where it was not supposed to be. So in other words, when the temp sensor reported temp it shut the fan off. If the temp was NOT <=68, which was the whole bedtime, the fan did not run. If you want to learn from my mistake, don't tweak rules before bedtime. 
With great power comes great responsibility....

If I only had a nickel for all the times I was in the doghouse for the same kind of things.......
At least you didn't have a rule fire off and light up the house like a Christmas tree, set off the sirens, and voice announced to seek shelter, due to a misspelling by the NWS for a weather alert. The words from my wife are still hovering over Lake Michigan today.
I see what you did there! 
Love that movie!
On the plus side - the system works!... 
Yep, been there, done that.
My husband hollars "your spark plugs suck!" - from the webcore days. Still, 3 years later whenever something doesn't work.
Actually that quote goes back to the French Revolution, but it was popularized by Peter Parker ( yes, Spidey).
I don't feel so bad now.
Yeah I read that and was going to post the French version.. but Spidey seems more accessible these days (or maybe not?)!
Ils doivent envisager quâune grande responsabilitĂ© est la suite insĂ©parable dâun grand pouvoir.
They must consider that great responsibility follows inseparably from great power.
I like the TL;DR version more.
Attention spans are too short these days for the long original version. That was from a time when people had way more free time, so could take all day to say something.
So fitting.
Last night, a false alarm set all our sirens off, and I shouldn't have included that device really as I had reason to believe it might be a bit flakey anyway. DH was not very happy...
Single. May be alone, but I am never in the dog house. 
Its funny if I lived alone I probably would not have created nearly as many automations. For me at least, accomplishing something that no one else would benefit from / use is not motivating.
I get my greatest satisfaction from having someone else benefit, enjoy, appreciate my efforts.
Besides, I very lucky. My wife is pretty understanding, especially since our combined experiences with X-10

Yes... I'd forgotten about x-10
I started with X10 in my first apartment. Moved those components all of the city with me as I moved around and just this year threw in the towel and got modern equipment (I have a three year old and it took too much effort and time to keep running).
Funny, mine didn't take much time after I potty trained them. What did you end up doing with the toddler?
