You know you’re addicted to HE and home automation when

Actually I am addicted to @ogiewon and I followed him to hubitat. But HE is more addictive than ST and @ogiewon. Sorry Dan.

When you have a 'small' scale project but yet still think it's time to expand and get a second maybe third hub, because why not.....

My wife doesn't really care what I do tech wise thankfully, it keeps me busy tinkering as she calls it. She only cares of I break something and it's down for a while... I learned that mistake some 6 years or so ago when I screwed up my home server tinkering in it and completely fubar'd it... Took our whole Plex server offline, I lost about 6TB of video files (thankfully backed up to the cloud at the time) that's when I redesigned it to be a virtual host instead of just the server.. and that made life easier I left my production servers alone and tinkered on virtual ones... But that was a 2 week lesson getting it back up and running and restoring 6TB of files.... Won't make that mistake again lmao.

...you walk into a dark room, and immediately check your hub(s) for problems without noticing that the house's power is out! :wink:

....you have designed a rule using enough devices from different hubs, interfaces, and protocols (wifi, zwave, zigbee, cloud), so that if it works, it means everything is running smoothly, without the need to check a browser.

And you trigger it first thing in the morning.....just to check.

That's when you add one of the ring range extenders that have power state detection, so the house can tell you the power is out :wink:
