Timely - I was already planning this exact project/product in the next few weeks! Thanks for the write-up, this will be very useful.

There's actually another good one here on dev.to: Living with Smart Home Automation for a Year

On a related note, your post on robot vacuums spurned me to get one of my own. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty sure I can do some basic "smart home" integration.

Ah, I hadn't even thought of that! Ours is just set to run once every 24h at a set time, but there's definitely potential for tuning there. Thanks for the link!

See, I've got static schedules: morning alarm, work tasks, lighting, now vacuuming, etc., but I always need at least one more level of logic. It's the exceptions: I come home early, take PTO, etc. that break "dumb" smart homes.
