I could not care less, for me its about automating tasks, not pushing buttons.

There are various ways to use it, yeah.

Yup. For me, I just expose a few things to HomeKit. So HomeKit is my dashboard. And I use my Green to host a few additional services.

They should improve the dashboard until I’m jealous of it.

Are there many aspects of automating tasks that you think need to be focused on?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Blinds, lights, and getting and saving weather data and room conditions (temp/hum), having the power of my server rack monitored...

The first two are my main concerns.

What automation for lights are not working for you? I've found my light automations work reliably, but maybe I'm not daring to do something too complicated!

Yeah, same thing.
