Ive been pulling my sleep data into Home Assistant and I keep hitting the same wall: I have the sensors wired up, but I’m the one deciding what to do with them. “If sleep score < 70, drop the thermostat 2 degrees” — I picked that number out of the air months ago and have never checked whether it did anything.
So I’m poking at something that reads the data over weeks, notices patterns, and proposes automations instead of me writing them. Early days, mostly logging right now.
Before I go further I’d rather learn from people already doing this:
What sleep or health-based automations are you actually running?
How did you land on your thresholds — tuned them, or guessed once and moved on?
Any you’ve turned off? What made them not worth it?
Do you actually look at your sleep history, or does it just pile up?
Genuinely curious whether the “I have the data but never act on it” thing is just me. Happy to share what I build back here either way.
What I do is indeed tune down the heating at night close to sleep time, and tune it up when we wake. Or open a curtain a bit that is before a door we use to leave the home.
The problem you mention about trends ose one that was hard to tackle. All four family members have different time tables, and of course the weekends differ from midweeks. So, me being me, I went overboard and wrote this, no AI, just simple math to figure out what happened last couple of weeks, assuming a regular week pattern.
