....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

My friend you have just entered nirvana. Remember-
"You'll never work a day in your life, if you love what you do"
I've been blessed to be able to switch careers, midlife, into IT, and I'm honestly excited to start work everyday.
Congrats !

Sadly, my addiction aside from a couple recent drivers I've written has been all about stabilizing what I have and obsessing about motion lighting speeds. To be quite honest, driving me absolutely nuts! 
This goes hand in hand with my OCD which I think I may have.

Yeah I have 38 devices attached to my hub for 'testing' waiting for a purpose... Mostly for my next big project but wanted to get them and some rules built out for testing. But because they are in a box waiting for that they all have generic names.. like door sensor 1, 2 ect... I got tired of figuring out which one was what when I went to do testing, that I bought little vinyl numbers to label them all, lmao.
when you get a hold of a Lego Mindstorm EV3 and the first thing you think of is 'How do I integrate this with HE?...'
Well that works via IR... so you could try something like a broadlink IR blaster... learn the codes.. and intergrate that with HE..... lol.
When you stay up way too late to make this work on your custom dashboard....
no speech/sound
speech/sound
And then you decide that was way, way too easy and what you really need to add is this (not that anyone would ever be able to see it but at least your OCD is fully satiated at last)...
(you will have to look real close 
)
When you have a Google nest mini sitting next to an Amazon echo dot, and you use TTS to make one ask the other a question so you don't have to talk..
Got the biggest eyeroll from the wife doing that one...
