Arguably, I find automations make a smart home truly smart rather than perks like voice control do. What are your favourite automations running at home?

I did a few small automation for my car and the charger.

When I plug in the charger at home, it will check the current electricity prices and if below a certain threshold it will setup a plan to charge in those hours.

I also have a button I can press to make a plan depending on how many kwh I need as well as when I need it.

It will then automatically start and stop the charger based on these plans

Ah, nice one. Thought about something similar as well (now where we use Tibber as our electricity provider). :)
