@spaghettiwestern The two that made me dive into the home assistant rabbit hole:

When the rabbits are out around sunset (door sensor on their cage) lights turn red and my and my wife's phone get a notification. Too many times we remembered that the rabbits were loose while it was pitch black. Not too good with black rabbits...
Fixing the mess that is my Marantz receiver, communicating with my TV over hdmi and lately my wiim streamer. Turn it on and off depending on need, controlling zone 2 as well as turning on power for the zone 2 amplifier when it's used in the receiver. The ridiculous part here is that it's necessary - these things should just work!

Did you post about this in the home assistant sub looking for recommendations on how to do this on Reddit awhile back? If not someone else did because I distinctly remember a rabbit notification and light setup lol. Wild the random info my brain retains 😂
